Herbs are easy to grow
Herbs are the original “weeds”. Most herbs are just that, weeds that are now grown in gardens all over the world. They are extremely easy to grow. Most herbs will flourish with very little care. They are much easier to grow, and require less maintenance than vegetables or fruit trees.
Even with little space
You can grow herbs just about anywhere. In a pot, on a windowsill, on the side of the house. Wherever you can find some space, and a bit of sunlight.

Start with seeds or plants
You can grow herbs from seeds, or for a quicker start, pick up some plants. This year I’m going to stock up on herbs at Herbfest. They will have a huge section of herbs, some that can’t be found anywhere else in this area.
It’s not just herbs though, they have classes on medicinal; herbs, composting, herb gardening and a whole host of other stuff. At night there are bands, that are a ton of fun to watch. It’s a whole 10 day herbal festival. Some people travel from all over the US, just to come to Herbfest.

- Crafts – Herbs are great fro craft projects, table setting and decorations.
- Vegetables, some herbs can be eaten as vegetables, Cardoon is one example.
