Herbs We Like

Plants are herbs not because of the type of plant they are but because of the use we make of them.  Herbs are plants that we value for their taste, aroma or perceived medicinal values.  So they can be any kind of plant:  trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals or vines.  They may be tall, short, woody, soft woods or leafy.  They can be tropical, semitropical, temperate, cold climate or even artic. ​
