Everyone loves a herbal garden! We do, the bees do, the butterflies do… and in this garden there is something for everyone.
Just as some plants are especially good at helping the health of bees by giving more pollen and nectar, so too are some plants good at supporting our health. The Bee Herbal Garden is a selection of herbs that are equally as valuable for the bees as they are for the herbal apothecary. Species included: Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa), Echinacea purpurea, Goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea), Licorice Mint (Agastache foeniculum), Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca), and Thyme, Common (Thymus vulgaris).
Grown from seed, these perennial herbs take a little longer to flower in their first year, after which they will bloom continuously for six months every year. Starting with thyme in the Spring, ending with goldenrod in the Autumn, these flowers provide the bees with an abundant supply of food; in return, the bees provide an essential service in pollinating the herbs.
Growing a herbal garden for the bees is a way of creating a truly healing habitat in which all creatures can thrive.
Need to know
You can use and benefit from the herbs in this garden in many different ways. Licorice mint makes a delicious herbal tea by just infusing a few leaves in a cup. Thyme is delicious in cooking and is a favourite in herbal honey and syrups. Bee balm tastes like a strong oregano – use sparingly! Echinacea can be used to support the immune system.
Most importantly, harvest mindfully and be sure to leave enough flowers for the bees.

Hello! We are Sebastian and Ben, and we created Earthsong Seeds to share something we truly love; sowing seeds, watching them grow into beautiful plants and enjoying their health-giving potential.
We especially want the seeds and plants we offer to encourage the tradition of the home apothecary; growing and making your own simple herbal health-remedies at home. Looking after ourselves takes many forms, and growing healing plants and then making them into various teas and potions, is something that we find thoroughly nourishing.
