First Time Medicinal Herb Garden (Holy Basil, Calendula, Comfrey, Self Heal and Yarrow), Organic

$14.95

Easy not Peasy.

First Time Medicinal Herb Garden consists of full-sized seed packets of:

Holy Basil (Temperate Tulsi) (Ocimum africanum), organic

Mixed Calendula (orange and yellow flowers) (Calendula officinalis), organic

True Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), organic

Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris), organic

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), organic

To the beginning grower, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose among the many herbs.  We’ve taken the guesswork out by suggesting five herbs that are relatively easy to start from seed.  Medicinal flowers chosen on the basis of their great utility in herbal medicine. Frankly, a garden with just these plants is a great boost to anyone’s self-sufficiency!  All of them are perennials except the holy basil and the calendula, which are annuals. Both of these self-seed readily if allowed to go to seed, whereupon new plants will arise the following year.  All the plants in this collection are dependable growers for making the most basic herbal teas, tinctures and salves. Directions for planting are printed right on the packet.

For more information on why these herbs are chosen for a “first garden,” check Richo’s blog at this link 

For more information on how to harvest and process these and other fine herbs, we recommend our flagship book “Making Plant Medicine.”

      hi mary, yes, if you do not have these herbs they are central to our herbal lifestyle and will grow well in a z 10 winter garden. the comfrey can collapse in high heat, it will need some shade. richo
