Our first symposium, on July 22, 1995 was called "Celebration of Herbs"... and our guest speaker was Betsy Williams owner of The Proper Season in Andover MA.Betsy spoke on "Herbal Living" and "The Herbs of Christmas"
We offered a marketplace, an herbal luncheon and a later light refreshment.
Lunch menu:
Chicken Basil Salad
Hard roll with herb butter
Fresh veggies with dill dip
Chocolate glazed cheesecakes with candied violets and Iced Raspberry-Mint tea
Our workshops (and teachers) were:
Pressing Issues (Robin Mickiewicz)
Making Scents (Glenda Stevenson and MaryLynn Turner)
Bath Thyme (Jaymie Marshall)
Our chairperson was Jaymie Marshall. We held the symposium in Faith United General Baptist Church's original location on Dye and Lennon Rd., using the sanctuary and basement. The price of a ticket for the all inclusive full day was $20.00. It was such a success, it became the first in a long history of herb symposiums.
