Step 1
First, you'll need to decide which plants will provide the most "bang for their buck", and where to plant them. You may want to research the herbs you'd like to grow individually and source the seeds yourself, or you can buy a premade kit. We can help there, since we have an offer of a kit along with recipes and instructions, while also having the bonus of producing beautiful flowers!
Step 2
Prepare the soil. The ideal soil type for a garden is loose and well-draining, while clay soils can be heavy and sandy soils too light. Adding compost, well-rotted manure, or organic matter can boost the structure, fertility, and health of the soil. Adding fertilizers can also provide short-term benefits to plants, but is often not necessary with compost use.
Step 3
Plant the seeds! You may choose to start the seeds in smaller containers indoors for a controlled environment, or you can plant directly in the prepared soil. If you are unsure which is best for you, a general rule is that if you are getting morning frost, you should probably start the seeds indoors until the frosts stop. Water regularly and ensure no weeds overtake your seedlings.
Step 4
Harvest time! In as little as 8 weeks, some of your herbs are ready for medicinal preparation. Congratulations, you now have pharmacy in your back yard! Not sure how to harvest and prepare the medicines? No problem, the hand selected kit also contains ready-to-use recipes.
Step 5
Prepare the medicines you need, when you need them. Whether you need a soothing tea for your digestive system, a natural "aspirin" to make a pesky head ache go away, or a natural sleeping pill, these medicinal plants have you covered.
Enjoy!
