Herbs for the Medicinal Garden: Garden Tour #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- My medicinal garden contains healing herbs that can be used for SO many ailments. When I counted up all the medicinal herbs we cultivate or that grow wild we can forage near us, at last count there are over 100 of these. This is WAY too many for one video, so I'm planning to do several garden tours over the next months of summer and fall. Please let me know if you enjoy these by commenting, liking, and subscribing, and I'll add more tours. In this first tour of my medicinal gardens I share information about 8 different medicinal herbs. Enjoy! #medicinalgarden #herbalist #herbalism #HeidiVillegas #healingharvesthomestead #healinggarden

I love your channel. I am a retired RN but have always been drawn to the more natural medicinals. I have become more adept at growing my own vegetable and herbs. I am soaking up your all of the information you give on your videos. I live in Central Florida so I am restricted to Zone 9b plantings. I feel encouraged to step a little further into herbalism from your channel.
Oh, you definitely should! Truly, herbs and natural plant medicines (along with some lifestyle changes) changed my life and health!
Thanks for sharing Heidi, beautiful property. You are blessed and a blessing to others.
Thanks, Lois! I am truly blessed by all the people in this community, like you, who want to learn about the herbs for wellness!💖
What a beautiful garden... & to think that is only part of it !!! I enjoyed this tour & look forward to the next set...
Thanks so much!❤️ It was quite fun to do, too! I'll try to have Tour #2 out next week!
LOVE your ponytails and what a gorgeous view!!
Thanks, Diane!
I’m in Northeast Pennsylvania and I’ve noticed the Red Clover Blossoms were a more vibrant color this year 🌸
Mine were too! We got a LOT of rain this year...did you, too?
Heidi this is a great video! Looking forward to sharing the rest of the series with my group! We sure appreciate your wisdom. 🥰
Oh, thank you so much, Celene!
@@HeidiVillegas 😘
Love your hens clucking in the background. I thought it was one of mine for a second. 😀
Oh, I'm glad it didn't bother you! I love my girls!
Thanks again for all you do!! You are a great asset to the herbal community!!
Thanks, Irene! I appreciate that!💖
I like your comment about growing for others too. I had one plant of comfrey and this year made it into six- I found I was being asked for leaves more than one plant could produce.
That's wonderful, Karen! Yes, I think we all have a responsibility to help those around us, especially if you're fortunate to live in a tight community where people actually care for one another. :-)
Love this video! Glad there are more to come over the seasons! I felt like I was a guest in your garden 💜
Thanks, Kirsten! If you let me know what plants you're most interested in, I'll know where to focus! It was really hard to choose for this video. :-)
We want both animals and herbs. Plant medicine is so very important especially in challenging enviroments like ours (high desert so Calif) The pain relief is definitely high on my list as I am constantly on standard pain relief.
Yes, knowing how to make your own herbal medicines for your own specific ailments is so very empowering. Especially if you can grow your own plants, too. :-)
I am super excited about these videos I've been wanting to plant a medicinal Garden myself but the important thing is knowing what to grow and what it does we are all grateful for your help in this matter thank you so much for all you're doing much love from all your subscribers🦋⚘💯💖
Thank you so much! 💖
Love your videos Heidi. I find them not only informative but also very relaxing. Your property is glorious!
Thank you so much! It's been an ongoing improvement process and definitely a labor of love.💖
Thank you for the tour. Have often wondered what your gardens look like. Really looking forward to seeing more!
Hi, Christine! Our gardens have been in a constant state of change in the last four years since we moved here. We've been working tirelessly on amending the soil and building beds because our soil here is naturally hard clay and full of destructive weeds. It's a process!
Loved this!
Thank you, Sherry!
Your grades are lovely, thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Teresa!
Really enjoyed visiting some of your garden! Pumpkin is adorable! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the info and instruction. 😉
Thank you, as always, Cindy! I appreciate the comment! yes, Pumpkin arrived right on time! LOL She always does!
Hi Heidi, I live in Moscow, ID and my Rosemary survives winter. :)
Is it sheltered somehow? I don't have a good place on our property that creates a microclimate....so I just bring ours in. We're also at higher altitude, and temps are pretty frigid in winter.
@@HeidiVillegas I bought my property in the winter when it already had about a foot of snow. The lowest temp was about 4 degrees. It was an estate sale so I didn't get a lot of history on the place but in the spring surprise! I had an established garden full of Rosemary, Marshmallow, Valerian, Thyme, Lovage, Lemon Balm, Wall Germander, Serviceberry, and other fun herbs that I am learning about. I am in your basic course right now to figure out what to do with them all. lol Thank you for sharing your wealth of information with others! 😀
Great video, can't wait for the next installment, I'm trying to work out what I can grow myself, what I can forage to cater for our medicinal needs so found this really helpful, loved the horseradish & kittie part
LOL. Yes, Pumpkin showed up right on cue! She takes a nice long nap after her catnip sessions. :-)
I loved seeing your place and some of your medicinal herbs. You have a beautiful view! When I was young and living in Oregon, I used to eat the red clover blossoms. They had a sweet taste that I liked. Maybe that's how I got my start of loving herbs! :) Looking forward to more of your herbal tour videos.
I'm like you! We didn't have red clover growing in Las Vegas, but there was plenty of white clover, and I'd eat those too, as a child. It's so funny....I think that before the knowledge of plant medicine is educated out of us by scare tactics from Big Pharma and the AMA, we intuitively "know" what our bodies need and want. :-)
@@HeidiVillegas yes, I ate the white ones too. I agree with your comment that we intuitively knew what our bodies need and want. Have a great Sunday!
I love this video! I can’t wait for the next installment. Thank you!
You are so welcome, and I'm glad you liked it!💖
Love this, have subscribed, God bless

I was wondering if you had a herbal first aid kit? And if so would you be willing to show us? I've been trying to put one together and have i've been looking for ideas. I love your garden. And thanks for sharing and all that you do.

i love it and jealous too lol
Oh, don't be jealous! Seriously, it's been SUCH a lot of ongoing hard work, and I feel we're just still getting started!
Thanks, Heidi! I started my rosemary from seed and it's struggling a little. Hopefully, it thrives this summer so I can bring it in over the winter. So far, our temperatures have stayed pretty cool. Maybe that's the reason it's not taking off. However, my catnip and lemon balm came back from last year and are going crazy! Yay!
I'm impressed by your growing rosemary from seed! That's pretty tricky! It probably is why it's not taking off, too---the cool weather. My rosemary is still trying to get into growth mode, too.
My Rosemary is 6 ft high and 8 feet wide. Yea
NICE!!!! You must be in a warm, dry place? I had one like that in Las Vegas, and as long as I kept the sprinklers to it a couple of times a week it grew fast. It was a monster, too! Here...there's NO way I'll ever have rosemary that size! Good for you!
Move the horseradish, my root after 10 to 15 years old was over 5 ft wide, we used my husbands digger machine, lol, it now lives by the old barn, loved the video. Thank you
WOW!!!! So glad you brought this up! Last fall when I dug up some pieces, I noticed they were a little out of hand. I'll do this next week...move it that is! I'm just so glad to have it because we can't buy it anywhere around here. I have to order it on Amazon, and honestly, I'd rather dig up my own.
@@HeidiVillegas elecampane is another great root, but it also likes alot of room, i had to move that one also, as it was in a box, happy moving day to u, lol
Catnip, either the neighbor's cat or a feral cat came and ate all of mine last year. LOL I started more inside but it's leggy, probably because it doesn't get enough sun. :-(
Oh, no!!!! I hope you grow a nice patch this year!!!
@@HeidiVillegas I will be keeping it in a pot but it is going outside soon.
Loved this video! Really interesting, and the views around your homestead are gorgeous! Looking forward to future videos! I have a question about the spearmint, lemon balm, and feverfew remedy you mentioned for stress headaches. Is that best administered as a tea or tincture? I get headaches at work and would love to stop taking medicine for them if possible.
Hi, Rachel! For what you describe, a combination of willow bark tincture (I have a video on this), spearmint, and lemon balm can be very helpful. Feverfew can be a nice addition. For migraines, feverfew, lemon balm, and spearmint are an excellent combination. You can use either a tea or a tincture for these herbs.
Great video...have them all except willow...which I've wanted a willow tree for years!!
Someone told me I shouldn't put mints together because they will cross pollinate n make a new variety of mint...is this true?
Please do a video of the essential oil process👌👌
Excited to start your herbal class friyay👏👏👏❤️❤️
Now on to watch part 2 of thus video ❤️
Hi, Christina!!! SO glad you're joining us for this round of Ditch the Drugstore! Yes, actually, mints can hybridize, although I've not had this happen. It's possible. I'm planning to distill some fresh yarrow just as soon as I can get out there to forage some! I'm not growing enough yet in my patch to have the amount I need to distill---it takes a LOT of plant matter. I will at some point, but for now, I'm protective of my cultivated yarrow. We have a LOT growing wild this year, though, so I'm excited!
@@HeidiVillegas I'll have to investigate this n see what I need to do....thks....
I found ONE red clover growing in the front yard today lol. We have spearmint, peppermint, catnip and lemon balm growing prolifically but pennyroyal has literally taken over the entire pasture. Do you have any suggestions for its use since it’s not generally recommended to take internally? My daughter and I went to Mountain Rose Herbs today and bought a pack of 18 medicinal herb seeds that I’m so excited to plant. I have a cupboard full of tinctures and teas from “weeds” I’ve foraged and grown on my own property but there’s so much more to learn! I will definitely check out your herbal training course!
It sounds like you live in a GREAT place to grow medicinal herbs! If you slightly disturb the soil, this fall, plant your cover seeds right at frost time so they overwinter. Then you'll get your red clover in the spring! :-) **Pennyroyal may be indicated for some women's conditions, gout, and fungal infections, but yes, this is one herb that most herbalists now shy away from and keep as a low dose herb. I don't use it myself. :-)
Heidi, I enjoyed the video and I am looking forward to the distilling oil video. Would you even consider trying to distilling Lemon Balm or does it take too much of this herb?
Yes! I plan on distilling lemon balm as soon as my patch is large enough. We're still in a cold, wet time here...this spring has been so strange! So, I'm starting with the spearmint and catnip...then hopefully the lemon balm will be ready!
Hellebore - The difference between a poison and a cure is the dose.
Absolutely! This is so very very true.... :-)
I have two small patches of red clover in my back yard. I have dogs so I would like to encourage it in my front yard. How would I harvest the seeds so I can spread them in my front yard? Great video. Thanks, Stephanie
The seeds are viable in the plant about 15 days or so after flowering. I'd go ahead and dry the flowers, and then see if you can garble out the seeds. Then plant these. Alternatively, you can purchase red clover seeds very inexpensively, too.
so is willow and weeping willow trees the same or can a weeping willow be used the same way as willow?
Hi, Deborah! They're different species of willow. All willow species contain some salicin, and the Salix alba species contains the highest amount. Here's an article that explains more: www.healingharvesthomestead.com/home/2021/5/21/how-to-make-natural-aspirin-with-willow-bark-salix-spp
Please can you answer. What is the type of plant that plants the eye ladder?
I'm not sure I understand your question?
Off topic a bit… can I infused rosehip powder bought from my local supply store? If so should I use the alcohol infusion recipe?
Do you mean a tincture? Yes---
lol I don’t know what I mean.. I just want to make rosehip oil for my lotions and potions.
