Come and talk with me about an herbs- how to grow them, use them and enjoy them. Visit The Herb Cottage My philosophy regarding herbs and herbalism is simple. The plants are our allies. Herbs are all around us to be cultivated, enjoyed, studied, used and honored. Growing herbs teaches us to read the plants to learn their needs, where they like to grow and what conditions make them happiest. This practice can be used when growing any plants. Learn to know the plants and you’ll be able to see whether your plant is in its happy place. The use of herbs for health, wellness and medicine is another way to learn about the plants. When I make my tea blends or even use just one herb for a tea, I think about the qualities of the plant- where it grows, when is it best harvested for use, how does it make me feel. My herbal products reflect the plants used in them. To me, it always comes back to the plants- how they smell, feel and taste. What do they look like growing? Even if I can’t grow all the plants I use, I like knowing where the plants are grown, in what conditions do they thrive and are they harvested with love.
