The Calming Garden

Choosing the right plants will give you a garden that can help you de-stress.

Sweet marjoram and lemon balm are said to be good for cheering you up.
Mint is cleansing and invigorating.
Lavender is a soothing addition to the bath or pillow.
Camomile and fennel are good for aiding digestion and a restful night’s sleep, as an infusion or in a herb pillow.

To infuse use whole leaves, fresh or dried, and brew as you would for a pot of tea for five minutes. Sweeten with honey if desired. Have a life devoid of stress and also enjoy the lush greenery within your house.
