- Gertrude Jekyll

We celebrated our 20th anniversary in 2016. The Rocky Mountain Unit was formed by several
serious "herbies" who recognized the need for an herb organization in Denver and the rest is history. Through
the years, the Unit has provided programs and education, planted and maintained herb gardens, participated
in herb fairs and plant sales, and hosted national herb conventions. The membership is diverse, from the
beginning gardener to the master gardener, students and teachers, homemakers and business owners. Twenty
years of developing friendships and having fun!
