Beginner and looking for recommendations!
Hi all! I’m new here. I’ve always found herbs/foraging/natural remedies fascinating but I’m ready to take the next step into actually learning and doing more with it.
I don’t want to jump straight into the deep end and start cultivating massive amounts of plants, I also have limited space (I do not have a proper garden) and I have a balcony that gets little sun but a window that gets lots of sun. Everything will be grown in pots and most likely inside or on the balcony. I also have a cat, he absolutely wrecked my spider plant to the point of no return but he has not touched my jade plant at all so I need to be careful and monitor whether or not he’s going to touch plants that aren’t safe for him (ideally I don’t want him to touch the ones that are safe either)
The first thing I want to grow is chamomile! So I’m hoping to get all the essentials in the coming weeks.
In the meantime is there any good online sellers (UK) that have natural raw herbs? I do use shop bought herbs a lot for many things from cooking to teas to skincare but I’d prefer larger quantities and not be throwing my money at big companies.
Also if anyone has any recommendations for websites or books or even beginner tips to increase my knowledge on herbs, remedies and foraging I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you ❤️
