Plan Your Trip
The 17th International Herb Symposium will be held at a new location this year in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. This location will make for a more accessible event and give participants an opportunity to venture to the United Plant Savers sanctuary after the Symposium ends. Classes will take place at the Historic Memorial Hall (called “Memo” by locals), which is located in the heart of the revitalized Over-the-Rhine arts district and next to the recently renovated Washington Park. The Hall’s address is 1225 Elm Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
Parking Options
The most convenient parking option is directly across the street at the 1- Washington Park Garage. Other options include:
- YMCA/Elm Street Lot on Elm Street
- Mercer Garage on Vine Street between 13th & 14th street
- Town Center Garage on Central Parkway opposite Music Hall under WCET
- SP+ Surface Lot situated directly between Memorial Hall and Music Hall (usually most expensive, fills quickly)
