You will have aromatic herbs without pesticides.

When we start a garden of aromatic plants at home it is because we are looking to consume natural, healthy and organic food produced by you.

Having home gardens allows us to know the origin of our products and above all to have the knowledge that these plants have grown naturally without pesticides, fertilisers and chemical fertilisers.

Use fresh herbs in cooking

When you grow aromatic herbs for cooking such as chives, coriander or parsley you have the advantage of having these ingredients fresh and handy in your kitchen. Straight from your small herb garden to your plate. The taste is totally different, you just have to taste it to realise. Knowing what you eat and where it comes from is essential for healthy eating.

Repel flies and mosquitoes

Most vegetables and herbs keep insects away easily, economically and sustainably. The synergy they produce generates a beneficial association. For example, basil repels flies or mosquitoes. Peppermint repels aphids and insects in general.

It is also important to note that there are insects that, far from being harmful to our crops, help us to keep pests at bay, encourage pollination and improve the quality of our soil. Ladybirds, bees and earwigs are all very good insects for our aromatic vegetable garden.

A home garden reduces stress

Keeping a small herb garden for cooking is a perfect activity to reduce daily stress.

In addition to reducing stress, having an herb garden will help you cultivate a lot of patience. You have to wait for weeks to get results, which is something we are not used to, so it is a great way to gain patience and reduce stress.
