Medicinal Plant Bundle of 10 Plants
Many of you have said you’d love to grow medicinal plants and herbs, but are not sure where to start. This 10-plant bundle is a great start. The plants will vary from month to month, but they’ll always be extra good value, and they’ll always be labelled with details on how the plant is traditionally used. Nothing says “I love you” than a bundle of plants. You could even volunteer to plant them for a friend as a housewarming gift. If you have kids, it could be a great conversation starter and a way to encounter smells and textures. Even better, many medicinals are super easy to grow. Give us a few days notice, and we will hand write labels on each plant.
