Lemongrass is a fragrant herb that's as versatile as it is flavorful. With its bright citrus taste and refreshing aroma, it's commonly used in teas, soups, curries, and marinades. Beyond the kitchen, lemongrass contains antioxidants and natural plant compounds that may support healthy digestion, promote relaxation, and contribute to overall wellness. Whether you're sipping it as a tea or cooking with fresh stalks, lemongrass is an easy way to add fresh flavor to your day.

Gardening is more than just planting flowers, pulling w**ds, and hoping your tomatoes behave themselves.

Spending time with plants can be a simple way to slow down, get outside, and give your mind something steady to focus on. There is something grounding about touching soil, watching something grow, and having a little routine that does not involve a screen, a notification, or someone needing something from you.

Gardening can help support mental well-being by:

• Reducing stress
• Encouraging time outdoors
• Supporting a calmer mood
• Giving your hands something productive to do
• Creating a sense of purpose
• Helping you feel more connected to nature

It does not have to be a big garden, either. A few herbs on the porch, flowers in pots, or one stubborn little tomato plant still counts.

Sometimes it really is the simple things that help bring us back to ourselves.

Before reaching for the spray bottle, take a closer look at what is already happening in your garden. 🐞

Dragonflies help keep mosquitoes in check. Ladybugs feed on aphids. Spiders catch flies and other small insects. These tiny garden allies are part of a natural system that works quietly every day.

A healthy garden is not meant to be perfectly sterile. It is meant to be alive, balanced, and full of helpful creatures doing their part.

Spray less. Observe more. Let nature do some of the work. 🌿

COOKING WITH HERBS

Culinary herbs fall into two useful groups for cooking: robust herbs and tender herbs.

Robust herbs
These herbs have strong, deep flavors and tolerate long cooking times and high heat. Add them early in the cooking process so their flavors can fully develop. Use them in stews, soups, roasts, braises, and grilled dishes. If needed, you can add a small amount of chopped robust herbs at the end for extra bite—use sparingly.

Examples: bay leaf, culantro, curry leaf, lavender, lemongrass, myrtle, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, winter savory, fenugreek, garlic, horseradish, summer savory

Tender herbs
Tender herbs are delicate and lose flavor with prolonged heat, so add them at the end of cooking or just before serving. They shine in fresh applications like salads and as finishing touches on soups, eggs, fish, vegetables, and potatoes.

Examples: basil, catnip, chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, marjoram, mint, parsley, scallions, tarragon, watercress

Quick tip: When in doubt, add a small amount of herb at the end to preserve freshness and aroma.
