Part gardening guide and part tea manual, Growing Your Own Tea Garden, 2nd Edition is packed with practical advice and inspiration for planting, maintaining, and harvesting a productive backyard tea garden. It includes tips on container gardening, raised beds, and nine suggested garden layouts. The book helps readers choose the right crops for their soil and climate, starting with the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and expanding to a wide range of herbal teas (tisanes). A comprehensive directory features over 60 plants-such as chamomile, lavender, rose hips, peppermint, and lemon verbena-along with their properties and health benefits. Each plant profile is followed by one of 19 tea recipes designed to support wellness, from easing stress and tension headaches to boosting energy and immunity. With guidance on cultivation, harvesting, and blending, this book is ideal for anyone who enjoys gardening and wants to grow and enjoy their own tea ingredients year-round.
