Embrace the shade

Don’t depair if your backyard isn’t bathed in sunlight. Many medicinal herbs thrive in partial shade, including lemon balm, mint, skullcap, sweet woodruff and thyme.

Start Small, start simple

Begin with a few easy-to-grow herbs, like rosemary, lavender, and calendula. As you gain confidence, you can expand your collection.

Observe and learn

Pay close attention to how hearts grow and respond to their environment. Keep a journal to make note of eaches plants unique needs, and preferences. Research their medicinal properties, history, and folklore and record your insights.

Connect with community

Join a local gardening club or community garden. Sharing knowledge and resources with other gardners can be incredibly rewarded.

Grow what you need

Consider what ailments or conditions you’d like to address with your herbal remedies. Camomile can a great ally for stress, headaches, and sleep. Peppermint can calm an upset stomach and sooth nausea.

Harvest with intention

When harvesting your herbs, do so with gratitude and respect; this will enhance healing properties.

Make it a sensory experience

Engage your senses. Smell the herbs, feel their textures, taste the leaves, and observe their growth.
