Today's New York Times has an article on making your own tea using herbs and wild plants from your garden, front porch, back yard, wherever you find them. After reading this article I thought, why not just stop by a City Blossoms garden for some of these ingredients? Some of the tasty tea herbs we grow (on purpose) are:
Chamomile
Peppermint
Spearmint
Pineapple Mint
Chocolate Mint
Fennel
Echinacea
Calendula
Feverfew
Catnip
Basil
Lavender
Rosemary
Borage
Oregano
Tarragon
Lemon Verbena
Lemon Balm
Thyme
And more! Just ask! Besides that, we can help you identify some of the wild "weeds" in this article, such as burdock, plantain, dandelion, and mullein. One of our best locations to see all of these growing vigorously is Marion Street Intergenerational Garden. Monday and Wednesday nights we are there 4-7; come stop by to volunteer, ask questions, hang out or pick some herbs!

Enjoy!
