Nothing can replace foods and condiments grown directly at home and by your own care, whether fruits, vegetables or herbs.
Nutrients, vitamins, minerals... Our body needs many natural components of the foods we eat to function properly. By having your own herbs , you benefit from all of their benefits fully and directly.

In addition, having aromatic plants directly in your home will have positive effects on your mental health. Indeed, the presence of plants in a room will allow you on the one hand to reduce your stress and on the other hand to increase your level of concentration.
Finally, by having your own herb crops, you participate directly in the protection of the environment.

How to care for aromatic herbs?

Indeed, some varieties called "invasive" have important roots requiring a pot with a depth of at least 40 cm. We advise you to inquire beforehand to have the appropriate equipment for each plant.
- To grow properly, each aromatic herb has specific needs for water and natural light.
- If you are new to gardening, we advise you to plant each herb in a different container or plant together herbs with similar needs. Indeed, it will be easier for you when you have to water them or move them to expose them to the sun.
- For the majority of your crops, it will be necessary to ensure that the Root Ball remains moist and that it benefits from the sun for at least a few hours daily.
