My Herb Journey

My name is Kaye and I live in North East Florida. I recently became interested in herbs and herb gardening.

I started out with buying flowers from a big hardware store. The flowers and plants were at a deep discount.

I wanted to take agriscience classes, which teaches about plants. I switched over to taking herbalist courses instead, because herbs interested me more and the healing effects from herbs.

I started buying herb seeds and herb plants. On May 27th, I began taking classes on Herbalist 101. So far, I am on lesson 5, which entails making herb medicine.

Herbs aren't only for cooking or ornamental use, they are also used for medicines. For example-Sage is not only good for your Thanksgiving or Christmas stuffing, Sage also helps as an anti-inflammatory

I have many herbs on my porch, ranging from Angelica to Yarrow.
