Weed and Gloat Team - A lively group of SAHS members, we meet on the last Monday morning of the month (9.30 am - 10.30 am, 8.30 am - 9.30 am during the hot months) to weed, plant and GLOAT at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens Herb Garden. Great opportunity to learn about herb lore, planting and harvesting. Afterwards, we sometimes walk around the SABot Gardens, check out what is new, or eat lunch. A couple of times a year, we celebrate with a picnic at the SABot Gdn with other volunteers, hosted by the SABot Gdn. For information on how to join us, call Jane McDaniel at 210-930 1026
