Have you ever been drinking tea and wondered if you could grow your own? To grow your own, you only need a planter that is at least 12" in diameter, and a sunny place to put the planter! A small patio would be just fine.
Over the next few weeks, I will share my favorites to grow and give you the confidence to grow your own hot beverage this year!

What Will Be Covered In The Grow Your Tea Series?

Stick around for the full series, as I may include bonus recipe ideas for the herbs we'll be growing. After all, I like to ensure I have more than 1 way to use the plants I grow, and I'm sure you do too!
