Hello! I am Judy Vines
I have cultivated herbs for over 25 years and have used them for many purposes. I grow herbs for culinary, medicinal and aromotherapuetic uses.
In these times of much confusion and general mistrust regarding the pharmacuetical industry, I feel that the knowledge and use of herbs is quite worthwile. The rich history and use of herbs and plants takes us before Biblical times and beyond.
I feel it is worthwhile to educate ourselves about these plants, which most can easily be grown in our backyard or in a pot on a shelf in a sunny kitchen window.
With a passion of growing and using herbs, I will show you ways to grow, harvest and dry herbs for many uses. My articles include culinary recipes and ways in which you can create your own beauty products and natural, non-toxic household cleaners with the wonderful world of herbs!
