This week I would like to share a picture of my small Medieval herb garden as well as pictures of some of my other gardens and how they have grown.

My small medieval herb garden includes: tansy (the taller green plant in the background) which was used as a strewing herb, disinfectant,  and insecticide. In some ancient cultures, it was also used to preserve the dead.  It also includes yarrow  (busy plant on below the tansy on the left) which was used to staunch blood flow.   Included also are: lavender,  sage, mint, oregano,  and one cilantro plant in which the seeds blew into the flower bed.

I included some flowering plants for a cottage garden look, as well as chamomile (used for fevers, insomnia, and asthma,) and catmint  (which had medicinal uses.)

Plus, here is some of  my chickory and comfrey, which have grown tremendously in the past few weeks.

Finally, here is a picture of my wormwood, valerian, southernwood, artemsia, beebalm,  new fennel, lavender, oregano, and more.
