ST - Herbal guild

[Kellie Hardy]

Greetings, Your Excellency, and well met!
Thank you for your interest in sharing the wealth of your knowledge with
your community.  I would be interested in coming to what guild meetings
I can.  I know very little about medicinal herbals; only what I have
absorbed from HL Suzanna's various lectures (and her cough medicine!  :
0 )  but I do grow various wildflowers ('cause they're pretty) and
culinary herbs ('cause they taste good).

Thanks again for your generous offer.  Huzzah!
