Is Tea Herb Gardening Hard?

If you know what to do in normal herb gardening then tea herb gardening is no different. The more important part would be to know which herbs to choose to grow in your tea herb gardening adventure. Believe me. If you enjoy drinking herbal teas then this will be a great adventure.

The purpose of a tea herb gardening project is to create a purpose built garden that focuses on growing herbs purely for brewing teas. One reason for this is that herbal teas are excellent for building up the long term health and resistance of your body to viruses and germs. You would then be less susceptible to, for example, the common cold and cough.

So a major job in this project would be to choose the right plants that will give the relief one is looking for, to treat specific ailments.

Now although the purpose of your garden is for tea herb gardening, the fact that most herbs are so versatile would mean that you would have created for yourself a culinary herb garden at the same time.

It is extremely satisfying to be able to grow your own herbs in your own tea herb gardening project that provides you with herbs that you can use daily to build up your own good health and at little cost!

If you think that growing a full size garden is hard, you can choose to grow a smaller one. It's your garden. You could start a tea herb gardening venture of any size outdoors. A four by six foot garden is more than sufficient if you only want to grow a small selection of plants. Your choice of herbs to grow will just need closer consideration and selection.

The size of your scheme can be reduced all the way down to the size of your windowsill or even a three by two foot herb garden kit. How about a one-pot herb garden with plants growing out of holes in the pot all around it? The only down side is that you will have a smaller variety and number of plants and perhaps even smaller sized plants. Your final decision will depend on how much tea you drink.

So tea herb gardening need not be hard at all. Even a few pots of herbs on the windowsill will provide many cups of delightful refreshing and healing herbal tea.

You might want to consider if tea herb gardening is for you. To help you in your deliberations I list below a few tea herbs that you can perhaps try before deciding to take a more serious look at this hobby. My top three tea herbs are:

Chamomile tea is one of if not the best known of herbal teas and hugely popular. To relax and prepare yourself for bed after a stressful day at work, drink chamomile tea. It can work wonders for those who suffer from insomnia and chronic nightmares, giving them a better night of sleep. It is also reputedly good for sore throats and for women who suffer from menstrual cramps.

Since basil is one of my favourite culinary herbs I love its taste and aroma. As with most herbal teas, basil tea is refreshing and invigorating to the senses. It relieves nausea and prevents coughs and colds.

Lemon verbena tea has a slightly sharp taste which can revitalize a humdrum day. It is an especially good choice for your tea herb gardening project if you like walking in and sitting down in your herb garden because its aromatic lemony bouquet makes an important contribution to the sights and fragrances of an intoxicating tea herb garden.

Shad, good article. I enjoy herbal teas, ginger especially. A great follow up topic would be how to brew the tea once you grow the herbs.
