The History of the Herb Bunch 1997

​

Once upon a time two "Herb Enthusiasts" Beverly Kleckley and Melinda Spencer, began their zest to learn how to cook, grow, and use Herbs.

​

Off to the North Carolina Herb Association Herbal Retreat at Valle Crusis they went.

​

This intense love of Herbs grew from their experiences with their Grandmothers and a trip to Abingdon, Virginia to partake in an

Herbal Shakespherian luncheon.

​

Everyone thought they must be crazy for going so far for lunch.

​

They traveled through South Carolina, North Carolina & Virginia in their quest for knowledge.

​

Sharing their excitement with another friend, Willie Wingard, who was a retiree from the Lexington County Family and Community Leaders ( an extension of Clemson University) the three met and decided that its time to share our enthusiasm and interest for Herbs with others.

​

Within four weeks flyers were sent out, phone calls made, and in August of 1997 thirty five Herb enthusiasts- mothers, husbands, students, gardeners, leaders & educators- joined in to form what is now the "Herb Bunch"

​

Over the years Herb Bunch has held monthly meetings in Lexington SC and does community education & projects

​
