I've done this before and it's worked wonderfully. I've also help with
a wedding/feast (SCA) where pressed and dried wildflowers were
scattered over tables as part of the decorations to cover the paper
that was taped over them (you know, those big rolls of stark white
taped underneath church-style coffee tables). This was absolutely
stunning. It might also be a way to dress up an A&S display. Use
the herbs and flowers in your presentation and also put some on a
piece of poster board upon which you set your entry.
