The Best Herbs for Growing Your Own Herbal Tea
Herbs are a great addition to any garden because you can use them in so many different ways and because many of them are easy to grow and they can tolerate poor soil conditions better than many vegetable plants can. And besides using them for cooking, one of my favorite ways to use the herbs from my garden is to use them for making herbal teas. (And I know that herbs aren't technically tea because they aren't from the tea plant, but for the sake of simplicity I'm going to call them herbal tea anyways.) I decided to put together a list of what I consider to be some of the best herbs for growing your own herbal tea in your garden, and these herbs are ones that are pretty easy to grow in most climates, ones that have a pleasant taste, and ones that are accessible at most garden centers or greenhouses.
