The earliest historical records of herbs are found from the Sumerian civilization, where hundreds of medicinal plants including opium & basil are listed on clay tablets. The Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt describes over 850 plant medicines. The Greek physician Dioscorides documented over 1000 recipes for medicines using over 600 medicinal plants in De Materia Medica, a text still used today by herbalists. Many plants that we cook with, like rosemary & sage, also have medicinal uses which is why you'll find them listed in this category of our store alongside more traditional medicinal herbs like Tulsi and Ashwagandha. While we feel comfortable sharing these specific plant types with customers so they can grow them themselves we do suggest you reach out to a trained herbalist if you are hoping to treat a specific medical issue using plants. 

All of our plants are grown in OMRI certified Organic materials (potting mix, fertilizer, seeds, etc.) and include Organic granular fertilizer, living locally-made compost, and have been cared for with healthy microorganisms from compost tea and microbial inoculants. We only use organic pesticides when needed. We only stock varieties that we have experience growing and that are season and climate appropriate for South Florida. Our curated inventory is simple enough for a beginner and interesting enough to keep an advanced gardeners attention, with new and rare varieties being added weekly.
