History

The Allegheny Valley Herbcrafters was a small group of individuals who shared a love and passion for herbs.  As an effort to futher their interest and appreciation for the use of herbs, this group on April 24, 1985 chose to organize formally and adopted a new name, Herbal Thymes Club.  The Herbal Thymes first public endeavor was as an exhibitor at the Saxonburg Arts Festival.  In the early 1990's, at the request of the Saxonburg Library Board, the Club undertook the planning of a Shakespearean Garden.  The Fragrance Garden at Roebling Park, the Kitchen Garden at the Burtner House, and assuming the maintenance of an herb garden at Cooper Cabin were efforts that soon followed.  In 2001, the club added a Biblical Garden beside Heide Hall and St. Paul Lutheran Church.
