The Madison Herb Society is dedicated, as a non-profit organization, to the education of its members and the general public with regard to the culture and use of herbs.

Historically, this organization has been involved in the planning, maintenance and use of the Herb Garden at Olbrich Botanical Gardens and contributes annually to its preservation.

Meetings are held monthly from September to May at the Olbrich Botanical Society in Madison, Wisconsin, and annually include an Herbal Tea and a Holiday Potluck for members and their guests.

The Madison Herb Society is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, religious or scientific purposes within the meaning of section 501c(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Madison Herb Society members receive the opportunity every two years to run for a position on the Board of Directors or to elect board members of their choice. This process is repeated every two years and the current September 2008–August 2010 term was voted on at the annual meeting on June 14, 2008.
