Summary
When I first started gardening, I did grow herbs, but they were only to use in my kitchen like basil and mint. As I've learned about gardening, I have begun to learn about how I could use herbs in my home for cleaning, in body products, and for our overall health. I'm excited to share what I've learned so far.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, so glad to have you today on the Beginners Garded podcast. I have to give you a warning about |
| 0:05.8 | today. I may be getting a little bit more excited about today's topic than I do other topics. |
| 0:13.6 | Honestly, I think it's the newness. I am having so much fun learning how to grow and experimenting with |
| 0:20.7 | different herbs and flowers for |
| 0:23.1 | health, body, and home. It's been such a fun venture this last year and a half or so. And I've had |
| 0:30.9 | a lot of you that have requested more information on this topic. So I wanted to bring it to you so that you can have time to get |
| 0:39.6 | these herbs if you're interested in them in your garden now so today I'm going to be bringing you |
| 0:46.8 | my favorite herbs to grow for health body and home hi I'm and in 2013, I started my first garden, having no background, knowledge, or experience |
| 0:59.8 | whatsoever. Now I am embarking on my eighth season of growing my own vegetables, fruits, and |
| 1:05.0 | herbs, and I'm proof that you don't have to have decades of experience to grow your own |

| 1:35.7 | grateful for that. |
| 1:37.7 | But I never realized that there was a whole other world of herbs and flowers that could |
| 1:42.3 | be used for more than just the kitchen. And good news |
| 1:45.8 | is a lot of these herbs can be used for all of those purposes. But today we're going to be |
| 1:51.0 | focusing on herbs and flowers that you can grow for medicinal purposes, for body care, and even |
| 1:58.4 | cleaning your house. As I mentioned before, I'm still rather new at this. So I am not |
