Her Baskets - What Types?

Below I have listed many different types of herb baskets that you may want to consider. You may want to make up several to satisfy all you needs. You will find most of the common herbs at your local nursery and many others, not locally available can be found online from specialty nurseries.

Parsley
Thyme
Oregano
Sweet basil

'Tricolor' sage
Basil 'Red Rubin

Italian Kitchen Herbs

Wedding Herb Basket

Sweet Marjoram ( joy and happiness)
Rosemary ( remembrance and fidelity )
Sage ( long life)
Basil ( love and good wishes)
Mint ( warmth and feeling)
Thyme ( strength and courage)

Remember to keep your herbs trimmed to promote growth and to prevent plants getting leggy and "out of control". Next post I will give you directions for drying so that you can keep them for future use.

There are many combinations of herbs. In future posts I'll give you more combinations that are unique and you may find more baskets that you would like to have. I'll give you a list for a very nice Herbal Tea Basket. There is nothing quite like making your own tea combinations. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to answer them.
