Herb Of The Month - Lemon Verbena
Introducing Lemon Verbena:
Lemon verbena, a fragrant herb with vibrant green leaves and a citrusy kick, boasts a rich history. Some believe it journeyed from South America, while others trace its roots to Africa. Regardless, it's become a global favorite.

Lemon verbena's magic lies in its name. The leaves burst with a refreshing lemon scent, perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. Imagine a steaming cup of lemon verbena tea or a summer salad enlivened by its zest!

Culinary uses abound: infuse beverages, add a citrus twist to desserts, or elevate fish, chicken, and vegetables. Lemon verbena even ventures beyond the plate. Traditionally used for relaxation and digestion, it whispers of medicinal potential. Studies suggest its calming aroma might ease anxiety, and early research hints at anti-inflammatory properties.

Growing your own lemon verbena is easy! Plant it in a sunny spot with good drainage, water regularly, and enjoy the harvest. So, add a touch of zest to your life with this delightful herb!
The 2024 Herb of The Year - Yarrow
Introducing Yarrow:
Don't underestimate the humble yarrow! This resilient wildflower with feathery leaves and white blooms boasts a history as impressive as its looks. Traditionally, it's been a battlefield buddy, used to staunch wounds with its astringent properties. But yarrow's not just for warriors. It's also been a friend to troubled tummies, calming cramps and easing indigestion. Whispers of anti-inflammatory potential add another layer of intrigue. While science is still catching up, yarrow's past hints at a powerful herbal ally.
