Herb of the Year™

The Herb of the Year™ Program, spearheaded by IHA's Horticulture Committee, has established Herb of the Year™ selections up to 2015. Selections are made based on the herb being outstanding in at least two of the three major categories: culinary, medicinal, or ornamental. Herbal organizations around the world work together with us to educate the public throughout the year. All IHA members are invited to participate in the selection process.
