3 REASONS TO GROW HERBS IN YOUR GARDEN

1. Good for you! Using herbs daily in cooking as well as using them in other home remedies (teas, tinctures, etc.) promotes well rounded nutrition. There is an herb for nearly every ailment. Using herbs as preventive healthcare can decrease/eliminate future health complications and diseases. 
2. A lot of them are perennial and easy to grow! There is less succession planting (turn-over) then there is with most vegetable plants. 
3. The vast majority of them will keep bad bugs out of your garden, such as mosquitoes/ticks- a lot of them even attract beneficial pollinators! Most of them go undisturbed by hungry critters and insects.
