Some wild plants are included in this list. These lead to descriptions but not all have planting/growing instructions. Also, some of these plants share the same common (not botanical) name, depending on where you are in the world. For this reason it is very important you are careful with identification. If the plant is not native to your country, you must not introduce it to the countryside without the prior knowledge and agreement of your local Nature Conservation Trust ((or equivalent therof)).

If you would like to know about a herb not on the list, send me the name and I'll see what I can do!
((Although I am currently extroadinarily overworked - I can only promise to try!))
