Awesome ! Thank you so much Anna ! Nice to see a different side to you from the ASMR videos !
Hey Anna! This is the first time I hear your normal voice
Yes, please give us more tea recipes .
OMG Anna I've never laughed so hard. Im sticking to my orange pekoe as my go to tea. In a pinch I'll lean towards chamomile, but that's generally only when I've been going for a few days straight. Honestly that was so good. I'm very impressed with how talented you are. Paw🐾
Tea time!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I really enjoyed this! I’d love to hear more about your apothecary garden and practice. ❤
Love it! I like to make peppermint and lemonbalm. Or lemonbalm lavender. I'm in zone 6 but have a nice sunny spot that lavender grows well in, even in my amended but clay soil. I also love anise hyssop. Choclate mint is a fav. I'm excited to try pineapple sage and lemon verbena.
This is lovely, thank you Anna 💙 most definitely something I want to do if I get a house with a yard.
I have tried teas after my postpartum anxiety and it has helped. It’s hard to learn your flavors but it’s very interesting; would love more tea videos❤
Anna, how difficult would it be to grow other varieties of Sage? I'm looking at Blue Sage and Mugwort (Black Sage), and have you ever smudged with Pineapple Sage? I'm imaging an amazing smell 😅
Which part of 🌏 ?
We also have an Apothecary Garden at our cottage here in the UK. We particularly love growing and using native plants. Yarrow and self heal are 2 of our favourites
Plant enough garlic, that time of the year when the leavestart changing, to eat everyday.
Eat garlic proactively each and every day for a variety of healthy reasons.
chocalate mint like after 8 🙂 i think some people call it pepperminth patties
Love this! So helpful that you have genuinely geared this towards beginners and as someone also with quite a shady garden, i am really pleased to hear suggestions that don't need full sun 😊
Super inspired! 💞
Thank you so much! I am planting Lemon Balm.

We would love to see how you organize and store your dried herbs. Also, love the dress!! Where do you get them from? 🌀🩵🌀
So I'm curious what kinds of tea you'd drink in winter ? Do you dry your plants and steep tea from that, do you grow plants inside the house or plan on building a greenhouse maybe or just use store bought ?
OMGOODNESS ALWAYS AMAZING WORK GREAT AUDIO VIDEO DESIGNER IDEAS AND CREATIVE PERFORMANCE CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE MUCHO CALIENTES 😘😘❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🌶🌶🌶🌶❤️🔥🔥🔥😍😍❤️🔥🔥🔥
I grow Valerian, Chicory, Salvia uliginosa, Apple mint and Lemon balm 🙂
Many years ago when I was having severe GI issues (ended up having to have my gallbladder removed) my mom had a large container of lemon balm. Making that tea every day while I was waiting for a diagnosis was a lifesaver.
Teas for women's cycle- please! I already like raspberry leaf but would love others!
Flower Garden beautiful.. 😊😊😅😅😅😘👍🌹😭🥰😁🌷💐🥀🌺
Cinnamon hyssop!
How I love to try your fav tea
Such a lovely video! Do you have Instagram? x
I so agree about Chocolate Mint! I just planted two and what beautiful plants, and the smell is incredible! Another new one for me this year is Apple Mint. It is another beautiful plant and the smell is awesome.
More teas would be great, I look forward to them. I also look forward to trying the chocolate mint and pineapple sage, both of which I have:)
Lemon balm dont use uf you have Thyroid problems. Dangerious. I had to give all mine away

Lemon Balm and Anise Hyssop tea is one of my favorite combos!
You have such good picks! Would love to hear more about your tea recipes as well 💚 Also wondering what you do when winter hits; do you dry & store your herbs or do you keep some plants inside with grow lights? I have been loving Holy Basil/ Tulsi Basil this summer (has some amazing healing properties), but peppermint is also a solid favorite. I must try to get my hands on a chocolate one as well after watching this video 🥰
Great info! Luckily I can grow lavender in my area, which is Zone 7B. I've had the same lavender plant for 8 years! I also love chocolate mint and pineapple mint. I'll have to try mixing the 2 together for a tea.
So Off topic, but still a big part is cannning I asked my mom when canning started to go out of style she said" mid 70's," because wonen went back to work, divorce was a big part of it which is sad I love doing herb gardens, and canning every year and I watched many you tube channels, on pressure canning I was a bit nervous, but my hubby said you do waterbath canning you can no pun intented can do this. I' m in the middle of dehydrating Elderberry. Thank you for showing up in my feed.. 😊
"For every illness, there is a plant." I love herbal/medicinal tea. I really want to try that pineapple sage and chocolate mint tea! It sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing! I drink mint tea everyday so I'm pretty excited about this. I grow my own medicinal herbs too. I have two herbs for you that I think you will like. They are both easy to grow and like shady woodland conditions: Wood Betony and Sweet Violets. Wood Betony is very calming. Violets are very soothing to the system. Also, do you watch a YouTuber called Herbal Jedi? Yarrow Willard is a local herbalist who generously shares his healing plant knowledge in such a harmonious and caring way. Highly recommend!
To connect with God who created all plants and gifted them to us . Thank you Lord for such a wonderful beautiful gift🙏
Yes I need easy simple ideas!! Yes anxiety, sleeping . Need holistic natural ways of healing. Thankyou!!
i have bladder/uranary infections all the time. it really makes my life hard.. do you have a tip what i can grow to help with this?
Thank you for sharing- would love to see more videos like this. The background was just so beautiful!!❤
I not only grow herbs for my family and me, but for my friends as well. So I have many different types of plants. My garden is a huge blessing for so many. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and your wonderful knowledge. You are a blessing.
I'm growing Chocolate Mint, Moroccan Mint, Strawberry Mint, Lemon Balm and Holy Basil for tea. I had Lemon Verbena last year and it was beautiful. I also have raspberries, monarda, echinacea and lavender but haven't tried any of them in tea yet.
