Early colonists who came to America in the 17th and 18th centuries brought knowledge of herbs and their uses. Seeds, roots, and cuttings were packed with care to ensure they survived the long ocean journey to North America. Herbs were essential for cooking, medicines, dying fiber, fragrance and more. For easy access, herbs were often planted by a door making “dooryard gardens” a common feature of colonial life.Contains: 8 full-size seed packets, 8 plant labels and a dooryard garden design card.•Parsley Single Italian•Chives Broad Leaved•Lemon Balm Common•Hyssop Anise•Dill Mammoth•Fennel Sweet•Chamomile German•Nasturtium Trailing Mixed Colors
