Medicinal herbs are quite easy to grow, so no worries if this is your first try at growing plants. Your garden can be as large or small as you like. You can even grow medicinal plants in containers on a deck, patio or even a sunny windowsill.
Many of the medicinal herbs covered in this Herbalism :: Growing Medicinal Plants Course will be familiar to you. Some are the very culinary herbs you use in cooking such as basil, thyme, oregano and garlic. Some of them have been used as ornamentals in flower beds like calendula and purple cone flower.
These herbs in this course were selected primarily for their ease of growth and for their safety. Each of the herbs also have a multitude of medicinal uses so you will be well supplied for a wide variety of ailments. Grow a few or try them all!
While much of the course focuses on each of the plants preferred growing conditions and medicinal uses, a good portion of the course covers herbal gardening basics.
