Herbs and Nature

I am curious how many are interested in learning more about herbs and how they are used.

For me, herbs are not separate from the garden. They belong in the living system. They feed pollinators, bring scent and diversity, support the soil, add flavor to food, and many have long histories of home use.

I do think herbs should be approached with respect, because they are not just “natural products.” They have actions, energetics, strengths, and cautions, although I also think many families can begin simply by learning the common kitchen and garden herbs already around them.

What would you be most interested in learning about herbs?

Growing herbs in the garden

Using herbs for cooking and flavor

Making simple herbal teas

Learning herbs for pollinators and garden health

Basic medicinal/home use of common herbs

All of the above

I am just curious and starting from the beginning
