What's growing in your garden? I believe it's important to know how things grow. No excuses, no black thumbs! House plants help cleanse the air we breathe, and gardens can inspire and soothe the soul. If you really can't grow your own, then make the time to visit your local botanical garden or gardening center. Smell, touch and feel the earth, flowers and herbs. You can also visit gardens around the world via the internet. Connecting to the natural world helps to enlighten us and in turn gives us knowledge to help save our PLANET! If you already have a garden, please be sure to look for heirloom varieties of plants to help insure genetic diversity for future generations.
*Please note: though I'm not wiccan, I've added some of the magickal meanings & uses for the herbs listed for general informational purposes. Please do not ingest. I make no recommendation to do so.
