Our plants are grown with care using organic-minded practices, with respect for the generations who grew, gathered, and shared their knowledge of the natural world. From our Alabama Farmacy to your garden, every starter plant is an opportunity to grow something meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFarm Note 🌱\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recommend giving your two mint plants their own containers from the beginning. Both can spread quickly once established, and keeping them separate makes harvesting and garden maintenance easier. Let calendula seed heads mature if you’d like to save seed for future planting. Mullein generally flowers and produces seed in its second growing season, and bee balm can also be allowed to set seed after flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive your new plants time to adjust after shipping, and follow the included transplanting instructions before moving them into their permanent growing spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInformation about traditional herbal uses is educational and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sweet Martha's Family Farmacy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54378614882620,"sku":null,"price":20.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/4904\/8892\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_3130e36f-e6ad-4d80-b05d-2588f727fce5.jpg?v=1788116103","url":"https:\/\/sweetmarthafarmacy.com\/products\/herbalist-garden-starter","provider":"Sweet Martha's Family Farmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
