- Starting a backyard medicinal garden in a raised garden bed. Some of the plants detailed are ashwagandha, yarrow, goldenrod, lemon grass, bee balm, holy basil, calendula, skullcap, and mugwort.
I purchased some of these beauties from Small Town Farm if you're local to Central Texas check em out. You won't be disappointed!

Pro tip: When transplanting perennials the size of your skullcap and mugwort (I guess you already saw that...), it's best to cut them back hard. The roots simply will not be able to replace the water lost from the tops after transplantation. This way they will bounce back very quickly.
Yea, I instantly knew I messed up 😅 - the skullcap is doing great but I ended up tincturing the mugwort. That said, it also has new growth so I think it's going to make a comeback. Will definitely keep that in mind for next time. 🌿💚
Love it! I just wanted to say you might want to seperate out the individual golden rod plants, there's about three per cluster that need to be spread out in order to thrive. Also I would avoid planting anything too close to the corners of the bed, as it can get to dry as well as crowded as it gets bigger. Also tease out the roots some more before plants. Sorry for the ramble, but thanks for the inspo as well, you've got some great species! :)
Good looking out, thank you!! 💚🌿
Whaaat?! I didn’t know the leaves of a peach tree could be used herbally/medicinally ..that’s so awesome! The hubs and I are just starting to learn about all of these things and it’s blowing our minds 🤯
I loving getting soil and mulch in bulk! It’s way cheaper and is native to your growing zone. Well done!👍🏾
Soo much more affordable! I should have been doing this all along. 🌿
I love your medicinal garden !!! I’ve been looking to add more herbs to my garden and this gives me so much inspiration! Would love to see updates
So lovely! As I’m sure you know, calendula is normally an annual… when they’re out of season you can plant other marigold varieties for pest control, color, and eating!
Also lavender is super easy to grow, and perennial depending on your zone.
I have a bunch of lavender growing in my front garden bed! 🪻🌿
I would love to see a video of you harvesting these things and using them!
Stay tuned! It's in the works 🌿💚
That is a impressive garden setup you have created! I would love to see a follow up later in the year how they all mature in the garden bed. Thanks for creating the video!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned. There will be updates, plant materia medicas, and making medicine 💚🌿
Best of luck with your new medicinal herb garden. I just started one, too. Will be following you for hot tips!
How awesome! I have the same plan, so watching you gave me some great ideas.Subscribed!
That's so exciting! I'd love to hear what you end up planting. Thanks so much for subscribing. Happy gardening 🌿💚
I love what your doing keep doing it 🙏💪
Thanks for your support! I appreciate you 💚🌿
Soooo coool!!! So glad i found your channel! I started ashwagandha this year from scratch!! This is my second year in my medicinal garden journey! I’m so excited to make me an ashwagandha tincture!
It's such a beautiful healing plant. Can't say enough good things about such a powerful yet gentle adaptogen. That tincture will be extra special because of your direct connection to the plant. 🌿💚
Amazing backyard ❤❤❤❤, Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Welcome! Thanks for subbing 💚🌿
Wowwww very informative straight to the point 🌿🌱🍃
TFS your nice garden starts 🌿
Thanks for supporting 💚🌿
wow, God bless you
So amazing 😘
I’m highly interested in growing a medicinal garden in my backyard. I just subscribed! Thanks for sharing
Awesome! I just set up my medicinal garden as well. I look forward to seeing your garden progress. 💕
That's so exciting! What zone are you in? Happy gardening 💚🌿
Definitely would love updates. I’m looking to start a medicinal garden bed but have no clue what I am doing. Thank you so much for posting this
I will definitely provide updates! What zone are you in? Don't be intimidated by it, a great place to start is with basic kitchen herbs. You can legit help you & your family right from your spice rack.
The majority of aromatic kitchen herbs (rosemary, thyme, mint, sage, rosemary) can be used for colds. Thyme is antimicrobial & am expectorant, ginger is anti-inflammatory, mint decongestant and a cough suppressant. - there are soooo many Herbalism Schools and online resources for free. Just start! You got this 💚🌿
Same here, my comment was to see updates as well. I like the setup @RedBootApothecaryandGarden has setup. Nice work.
Outstanding Job!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Just found you and I love you! New to gardening and herbalism, you’re so knowledgeable 🫶🏻 I’m in the UK so we don’t really go by zones but your content is lovely, could I make a request for some longer vids? 💗 xx
Aww, you've made my day! 🫶🏽 💚🌿
Longer more specific content is in the works, just got a new camera so things will be improving in the near future. 😅 Thanks for bearing with me while I get my footing in the YT world. And if there're any specific topics you're curious about let me know! 😊
So glad I found your Channel. I have a medicinal garden as well. Look forward to watching your content.
Love your garden and all them fruit trees! Excited to support one another!
Totally rewatching this is good
When I do a rip and transplant I often heavily defoliate and then shade with mesh screen for a few days. I leave enough leaves to monitor turgidity but priority is ensuring the roots establish. Tulsi + lemongrass is the best tea base IMO. A few more you might be interested in: Mullein, Leaf of life, Tilo.
Such a lovely combo!! 🌿 Thanks for the pointers. I appreciate em'
New sub here. I am loving the medicinal garden
Thanks and welcome! 🌿💚
Good Morning Rise and Shine 🍃💜🌿Your Video Popped Up So I Subscribed 🌿💜🍃Enjoy
Thanks for subbing! Glad you enjoyed 💚🌿
New subbie here. Very informative and interesting
. I look forward to learning more.
Glad you found it useful! Thanks for subscribing ☺️
Please try the ghost peppers in jelly, before making a big batch. It can and will overpower most things. 😅
The ghost peppers were requested by Mr Red Boots, I'm thinking the tiniest sliver will do. 😅😂😅
I love your medicinal garden
Thank you! I feel like medicine is a little more special when you have a one on one connection to the plants. 🌿💚
@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden i just picked up lemon balm strawberry mint ans russian sage and yerba buena
@@urbanharvestdfw Ohh, all so aromatic! They'll make lovely additions to your garden.
What zone you in
@@urbanharvestdfw Recently bumped up to 9a. How about you?
Goldenrod grows like a literal weed here in east Texas. I have to pull it out regularly. Good luck with your new garden!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
If it hasn't been sprayed with any chemicals you should consider tincturing it! So many good uses. 😊
@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden no spray. I will do some research on goldenrod medicinal uses. Thank you.
New sub here. Thanks for sharing😊
Thanks for the sub! Loving your garden tour as well! 😊
Great video. New sub.
Thank you...This made my day! Lets grow, harvest, and heal together 🌿💚
hello , Nice video. really like your raised bed...I have been turn on to a planted call the sorrel plant. I've done my research on this plant and had the opportunity to taste the tea that comes from it...Just wanted to pass this on from one gardener to another. I have friends from the neighborhood i use to live in who was from the Islands and all of them have a garden in their backyards....
I wish I lived in a community that everyone gardened in. That sounds lovely. Sorrel is great for digestion! I've never tried it as a tea. Glad you are developing a deeper relationship with sorrel. Sounds like it's your plant ally 💚🌿
@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden Yes it will be , my friend give me some seeds to start my own plants. patiently waiting..... Have a blessed evening
Wow wow wow ❤❤❤ your video is very good . Nice sharing friends 🎉🎉. Now your new friends and family member. I think you my friends
Thanks you ♥️❤️❤️
You are beautiful & natural! I love your garden. I’m not sure about the peach tree in a raised bed tho is it a dwarf? Im thinking about growing yarrow too look forward to garden updates
Thank you! Yes the peach trees are dwarf varieties.
😃🎉 Excellent
I subscribed to your channel 🙏
Thanks and welcome! Glad to have you here! 💚🌿
@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden You're welcome 😁 Happy to be here 🙏

When you use them for medicinal purposes, how do you make a salve or if you have congestion do you make a tea from the leaves?
Thank you xo
There will certainly be plant medicine making in future videos. Stay tuned!
My Aspirin crop was a complete failure……
Happens to the best of us!
I want to start a medicinal garden what do you suggest for beginners also I plan to grow in pots. I have a small space. So glad I found you! Loved your video!
You can do a lot with your kitchen spice rack. So I would start with your staple "kitchen herbs" Oregano, Mint, Thyme, Rosemary all of those can be very useful when working with colds, ear infections, styes, the run of the mill ailments most household deal with. From there, maybe try some Bee Balm (monarda) & lemon grass. At that point, you'll have an idea of what's useful for you, what you actually like as a tea or tincture and you'll be off and running! Hope that's helpful. Happy gardening 💚🌿
Oregano is a powerful antibiotic
Dandelion makes delicious greens cooked or in salads and the root makes tasty detoxing tea
Borage will self seed and take over the whole bed. At least mine did in zone 6.
As an herbalist,... this sounds like a great problem to have! 💚🌿
Where did you get your herbs and flowers from? I’d love to get some more medicinal plants!
I posted a video on this last week!

@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden I ended up finding it but fyi the link you posted just goes to a task rabbit ad! Not sure what happened or if it’s just on my end
You can eat borage flowers! I freeze mine in ice cube trays for summer drinkies
That sounds lovely! I've seen them used in baking quite a bit. I'm excited to try them
I did not know that, I will have to try that! Thanks!
Did you grow all the seedlings from seed yourself? Or did you purchase the seedlings? Also, have you ever used your oven to dehydrate the medicinal herbs? Or do you just use a dehydrator?
I got these seedlings from a fellow herbalist that owns Small Town Farms here in Texas. That said, I do have some other medicinal plants I'm growing from seed & other transplants both from Strictly Medicinal. I'll be doing a video on those as well soon!
I have used my dehydrator for mint before. But honestly, it's just as easy to lay your herbs flat in a cardboard box in a ventilated area and let them air dry. I've also, left them in a paper bag and they've dried just fine that way too. Lastly, bundling and hanging is always a lovely option. I love it for aromatic plants.
I've never used the oven but my understanding is you can just keep it real low like 120-130°.
@@RedBootApothecaryandGarden thank you for your response. I’m looking forward to seeing that video. I started :”some medicinal plants from seed a few weeks ago that are from Strictly Medicinal. But I’m new to growing herbs. So, I still have a lot to learn.
Thank you for sharing. I was trying to see if it’s worth buying a dehydrator or not.
Hello,
Where do you buy your seeds? Thanks
I cover plant sourcing in this video 😊🌿
