I’ve recently decided to turn a corner of my backyard into a small healing garden, and now I’m trying to figure out which plants to start with. I keep seeing lists online claiming to show the best medicinal herb seeds for beginners, but every list seems different, so I’m hoping to hear from real growers here.
My goal is to create a simple mix of herbs I can use for wellness teas, soothing balms, and maybe even homemade salves. I came across The Living Loom, and their seed collections look interesting, but before I buy anything, I’d love honest feedback about their quality.
In your experience, what are truly the best medicinal herb seeds for beginners if someone wants plants that germinate easily and don’t die at the slightest mistake? I’m leaning toward lemon balm, holy basil, lavender, and maybe plantain but I’m not sure if these are actually the
best medicinal herb seeds for beginners or just commonly recommended.
If you’ve grown medicinal herbs before, which ones gave you confidence as a new gardener? Any must-avoid varieties?
