Gardening Herbs

In this section of Seattle organic restaurants, I'm going to talk about physical and mental health benefits of herbs and gardening. A lot of people are becoming more aware about the benefits of organic raw foods and herbs. Many people buy herbs from healthy or organic food stores but you can also plant herbs in your backyard or pots indoors.

Gardening is good for you both physically and spiritually. By planting your herbs, you can feel how the combination of sun, soil, rain and your affection can affect the well being of your plant. You can actually feel the connection between you and the harmony and rhythm in the nature.
