Not just for cooking, herbs add multiple colors, textures and LIFE to your gardens. Tricolor sage is beautiful alone or combined with other herbs in a pot and the brilliant red flowers of pineapple sage not only stand out in the garden but also are a magnet for hummingbirds! You might not want to let mints loose in the garden, but grow them in pots so you can enjoy their wonderful flavor and fresh, clean fragrance. Basil is a culinary staple and we grow several types, but did you know that many types of beneficial insects are drawn to the flower spikes? Let a couple of plants bloom and you'll be amazed at the diversity of creatures drawn to it! Parsley is easy to grow and makes a pretty, as well as healthy, addition to everyday meals. Plant extra though ... swallowtail butterflies are drawn to it as a place to lay their eggs and the caterpillars that soon hatch are hungry little guys! (They also like dill - so share your space, your plants and you'll have butterflies floating by to keep you company in the garden!)

The simple act of planting a garden, no matter whether it covers an acre or fits in a flower pot, is a celebration of spring. Be it beans or begonias, corn or cosmos, peppers or petunias ... celebrate ... plant a garden! ~ Nikki
