Herb Garden

What is the difference between herbs and spices?

Herbs are usually fresh or dried leaves and tend to have a milder flavor.

Spices are the seeds, roots, fruits, flowers. Spices tend to be stronger and more pungent.

A good backyard landscaping idea is herb gardening and why you should consider it:

• Good and used for meals
• Fresh herbs have more flavor than dried store bought
• Easy to grow in a small space gardening
• Can be grown indoors
• Improve your health
• They smell good
• Herbs add color, texture and fragrance to the garden
• Repel pests

Tip - For those amateur cooks, use fresh, organic herbs when entertaining outdoors. The food will taste so much better and be infused with the flavor of fresh herbs.
