Growing herbs will not only add colour and beauty to your garden, but will have other, more subtle benefits. The dried herbs bought from the supermarket may have been irradiated to prolong their storage life, and are a world away when compared to the flavour and nutritional value of fresh herbs. So, always consider growing your own!
