At the Redwood High School Farm you can now find a small yet expanding herb garden!
Common herbs such as Oregano and Mint can be found in the garden along with other more uncommon herbs such as Nepitella. Herbs have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties. Once mature and large plants, we will be able to harvest the herbs and sell them at the Farmer's Market where buyers can take them home and make things such as tea or incense. Other herbs in the herb garden are French Tarragon, Sage, Rosemary, and Lavender. All of which can be used in the Kitchen.
The Herb garden is not the only place on the Farm however one might find an herbal plant. At the end of a few beds around the farm Lemon Verbena, Rosemary, and mint can be spotted. Lavender is also planted along the West side of the Farm against the pool fence. As this is only the beginning of the small herb garden at the Farm, many more plants will be added. All which will serve a purpose in the kitchen or on the farm.
If you have any suggestions for more herbs or your favorite is not yet on the Farm, feel free to contact me with inquiries!
Your fellow farmer,
Lennon Lott
