Herbs 2000
Saskatoon will host an international herb conference in July 2000.
It will be the first time Canada hosts the event.
The Saskatchewan Herb and Spice Association, Canadian Herb Society and the International Herb Association will co-ordinate the conference, which is expected to deal with growing, processing and marketing issues.
That will be followed by Herbfest, an event in Outlook, Sask., that will allow the public to see, taste and sample Saskatchewan-grown herbs.
The two events combined have been dubbed Herbs 2000.
