Early spring is the optimal time to plant numerous different flowers and herbs.  Starting in early spring, after the threat of frost, plant flower bulbs and sew herb seeds to yield your yard and home with an endless bounty of flowers and herbs throughout the summer into early fall. 

Not only are herbs a delicious enhancement to your meals, they are also beneficial as natural skincare treatments and sources of aromatherapy.  Basil is known to vigorously grow abundantly all summer long.  Basil (BasilOcimum basilicum) is very good for any type of muscle or nerve pain. Basil is an excellent muscle relaxant and also contains powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties as well.

Rosemary can be seeped in boiling water for half hour to extract it’s nutritional value into the water.  When the water has cooled,  it can be poured over the hair as an incredible hair tonic that removes all shampoo and product build up, and leaves your hair smelling wonderful fresh. 

Lavender can be picked straight from the garden and used an aromatherapeutic agent simply by inhaling it’s calming, smoothing scent.  Lavender is thought to relax the mind and quiet the body, and is widely used in spa therapies.
