Week two started off with a
nice cup of tasty lemon balm and calendula herb tea. My team partner Karine and I had the opportunity to fix up the overrun herb garden at The Orchard Garden. It was a busy project but I learned a lot about the herbs, such as, what medicinal qualities herbs have and how invasive mint and oregano can be. Because of their rhizomatic roots they can be very invasive to any garden and need to be contained.
Oregano's roots do not grow too deep but will branch out and can grow out several feet away.

We decided to plant some fennel and dill. Bees are
attracted to the flowers of these herbs. Then we finished by putting wood chips on the walkway
paths.
See all the herbs we found under the vetch that was
over taking this garden!
