herb lore question

[Angelwingswn]

Merry Meet and Brightest Blessings to all.

Someone once asked me what flower and herbs would be good to plant around their house. She said she had already planted lavendar near the front door. I told herI did not know of herb lore so I told her I would check with the people here in MW because I was sure someone here would know. Thank you.

Love and Light...

Hi Angelwingswn! Welcome to Mysticwicks & the Green Room! I hope you didn't mind me splitting your post from the weed thread. It was such a good question & I didn't want to see it lost in the "weeds". :D

The recomendations would really depend on what your friend would like to do with her herbs and how much space she has. Does she want to use them for cooking, magic, herbal remedies, etc? Most herbs have multiple uses & can be used in all sorts of ways.

My favourite recomendations usually are basil, rosemary, lavender, thyme, oregano, mint. The usual standbys. There are so many more. Again, it depends on what she wants to do and how much space she has.

mmmmm, Rosemary....

So what, exactly, would she like to accomplish with her herb-growing?

Give us a "purpose", and I'm sure we can find the herbs!
