A tea garden is a great asset to those that like herbal tea. Mint and lemon balm make delicious herb teas ( simply cover a sprig of leaves with hot water and leave to infuse for five minutes). Both these plants are thugs and can easily take over a garden but when confined to a container they are easy to keep under control.
Chamomile tea is made from the daisy-like flowers - choose 'flore plena' which has more petals and less bitter.
We've found a great window box thats just right for growing a tea garden. It's nickel-plated powder coated in a super green. It stands out thanks to its plain functional style.
This is a great blog. I'm really enjoying it. A lot of great ideas here, no matter what size area you are dealing with. Well done. Cheers, Bonnie
