The Herb Society of America has established an herb garden grant for elementary school classes grades 3 through 6. These grants ensure that the use of herbs in teaching elementary school students will continue for years to come, a tradition Mr. Samull — an elementary school teacher and the inspiration for this opportunity — used in his classroom to engage and inspire his 3rd–6th grade students.
