TOP HERBS TO CONSIDER THIS SPRING

There are many herbs you could consider this Spring for your own Herb Garden but here are some top ones in my opinion.

Chamomile

Chamomile- A gentle calming herb. Daisy like flowers are used to make a relaxing teas. Flowers can be steeped in hot water either fresh or dried.

Basil

Basil – There are many kinds of basil. Why not try a different variety than the standard sweet basil. Lime basil, purple basil, holybasil, bush basil, columnar basil….

Thyme

Thyme – not just great for cooking, it can be used as a medicinal tea and it’s a great pollinator plant!

Rosemary

Rosemary – a herb known for remembrance, a great medicinal herb for brain health.

Lavender

Lavender – English lavender varieties can be grown in most places in Ontario as a perennial! It can be used in cooking, teas and the scent is known for its calming effects.
