How to Start an Apothecary Garden for Beginners- Growing Your Own Medicine

[@SingBlueSilver-m7t]

Many years ago when I was having severe GI issues (ended up having to have my gallbladder removed) my mom had a large container of lemon balm. Making that tea every day while I was waiting for a diagnosis was a lifesaver.

What a beautiful garden! 🌿

We also have an Apothecary Garden at our cottage here in the UK. We particularly love growing and using native plants. Yarrow and self heal are 2 of our favourites

[@isabellavalencia8026]

I'm so happy to hear that you have yarrow in the UK that's wonderful it is a wonderful herb

Teas for women's cycle- please! I already like raspberry leaf but would love others!

[@atenglish15]

Lemon Balm and Anise Hyssop tea is one of my favorite combos!

[@charlottebiermann4551]

Love this! So helpful that you have genuinely geared this towards beginners and as someone also with quite a shady garden, i am really pleased to hear suggestions that don't need full sun 😊 Super inspired! 💞

[@tfyd0ll]

I have tried teas after my postpartum anxiety and it has helped. It’s hard to learn your flavors but it’s very interesting; would love more tea videos❤

[@sealskin5221]

Do you think your tea would help with menopause anxiety? Would love the recipe, cuz...a girl is strugglin'!😅

[@beaverrunfarm]

I so agree about Chocolate Mint! I just planted two and what beautiful plants, and the smell is incredible! Another new one for me this year is Apple Mint. It is another beautiful plant and the smell is awesome.

[@Krislynner]

I really enjoyed this! I’d love to hear more about your apothecary garden and practice. ❤

[@pseud0nul]

I grow Valerian, Chicory, Salvia uliginosa, Apple mint and Lemon balm 🙂

I would absolutely enjoy tea recipes When I'm having pain and discomfort for moontime I use nettle red raspberry leaf and ginger it helps with the cramps for me and tastes wonderful

[@isabelleer7501]

Excited to have found your channel! Great beginner list. Yarrow is also easy, native, and can be used in a myriad of ways. It's important for gardeners to start thinking more locally and saving what is actually native around us. If you are in the North East I'm surprised you didn't mention American Wintergreen or Tea berry, Gaultheria procumbens. Also very easy ground cover, great for shade, the most amazing mint flavor ever, and such an important plant that is native to your area.

[@Ida_Marie]

You have such good picks! Would love to hear more about your tea recipes as well 💚 Also wondering what you do when winter hits; do you dry & store your herbs or do you keep some plants inside with grow lights? I have been loving Holy Basil/ Tulsi Basil this summer (has some amazing healing properties), but peppermint is also a solid favorite. I must try to get my hands on a chocolate one as well after watching this video 🥰

[@beaverrunfarm]

More teas would be great, I look forward to them. I also look forward to trying the chocolate mint and pineapple sage, both of which I have:)

[@joyanncourtney2721]

I enjoy this video. I’ve started gardening this past spring. I’ve started adding plants specifically for their medicinal purposes to be used for teas. As a beginner this list is very helpful as I plan and move forward. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@AC-sn5io]

So Off topic, but still a big part is cannning I asked my mom when canning started to go out of style she said" mid 70's," because wonen went back to work, divorce was a big part of it which is sad I love doing herb gardens, and canning every year and I watched many you tube channels, on pressure canning I was a bit nervous, but my hubby said you do waterbath canning you can no pun intented can do this. I' m in the middle of dehydrating Elderberry. Thank you for showing up in my feed.. 😊

[@learning2no]

I not only grow herbs for my family and me, but for my friends as well. So I have many different types of plants. My garden is a huge blessing for so many. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and your wonderful knowledge. You are a blessing.

[@candaceparsons529]

I watched your video a few days ago. Pineapple sage is one of my favorite herbs to make for tea. I am just now trying your recipe and it is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@beccathornton4119]

Love it! I like to make peppermint and lemonbalm. Or lemonbalm lavender. I'm in zone 6 but have a nice sunny spot that lavender grows well in, even in my amended but clay soil. I also love anise hyssop. Choclate mint is a fav. I'm excited to try pineapple sage and lemon verbena.

[@tbur8901]

So I'm curious what kinds of tea you'd drink in winter ? Do you dry your plants and steep tea from that, do you grow plants inside the house or plan on building a greenhouse maybe or just use store bought ?

What else do you do with chocolate mint besides tea? I have a bunch in the ground, spreads like crazy, comes every year. Love the smell of it but I've never actually used it lol. Glad you talked about pineapple sage too cause I have bunch of that also in ground. Smells amazing too!

Thank you for sharing this information. I’m interested in growing herbs for homemade teas and this was very helpful. I’m also in the northeast and my garden has a lot of shady areas and I lose a lot of plants to deer, bunnies, woodchucks and many other woodsy critters, so I know what a challenge it is growing certain plants and flowers. Next year I will try growing the chocolate peppermint and pineapple sage. I hope you will share some more tea recipes!

"For every illness, there is a plant." I love herbal/medicinal tea. I really want to try that pineapple sage and chocolate mint tea! It sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing! I drink mint tea everyday so I'm pretty excited about this. I grow my own medicinal herbs too. I have two herbs for you that I think you will like. They are both easy to grow and like shady woodland conditions: Wood Betony and Sweet Violets. Wood Betony is very calming. Violets are very soothing to the system. Also, do you watch a KZbinr called Herbal Jedi? Yarrow Willard is a local herbalist who generously shares his healing plant knowledge in such a harmonious and caring way. Highly recommend!

Anna, how difficult would it be to grow other varieties of Sage? I'm looking at Blue Sage and Mugwort (Black Sage), and have you ever smudged with Pineapple Sage? I'm imaging an amazing smell 😅

[@Virginia-vn7ud]

To connect with God who created all plants and gifted them to us . Thank you Lord for such a wonderful beautiful gift🙏

[@rp2736]

I have some very large Pineapple Sage plants to add to my growing varieties of Sage which is a medicinal powerhouse. From my research they are best used fresh and in drinks to get that pineapple flavour. Dried they lose the scent and flavour (I speak from experience) they are regarded as having no medicinal properties. Can you provide any books or research regarding your advice about this herb, I’m open to having a different perspective, cheers

[@allrightallrightallright1919]

Awesome tips Anna, I love the teapot and mug! I share your enthusiasm for herbs and am planting some in containers so the ease of growing tips were very helpful, and you’ll save me the trouble trying to grow lavender in shade. 😂 Lemon balm is so interesting to me since just a pinch of dried herb helps me focus, as well as relax, a fascinating combo compared to other herbs like chamomile. I have seeds to plant it to grow my own. I will try the chocolate mint and pineapple sage, that sounds wonderful and appreciate the recipe! I wanted to share that I’ve recently also gotten a couple of young plants from Etsy to grow so I can stop buying teas - Bacopa monnieri (Ayurvedic herb, good for memory, focus, etc) and Jiaogulan or “Jiao Gulan” (“longevity” herb, can be invasive - so pot grow only). I am happy to say both of these have proven easy to grow for me in the only part sun (I’m in zone 9 btw). 😊🪴

[@donnamiller1273]

Great info! Luckily I can grow lavender in my area, which is Zone 7B. I've had the same lavender plant for 8 years! I also love chocolate mint and pineapple mint. I'll have to try mixing the 2 together for a tea.
