The Herb Society

The Herb Society Who are the Herb Society?

The Herb Society was founded in 1927 by Hilda Leyel, who also founded the Culpeper shops. At that stage it was called The Society of Herbalists, and Hilda used the consulting rooms above the Culpeper shops to treat her patients. Hilda Leyel died in 1957 and the Society spilt from the shops. The Herb Society is an internationally-renowned educational charity dedicated to encouraging the appreciation and use of herbs, bringing together those interested in herbs whether they are professionals or amateurs.
