Oh my…just one favorite herb? =) I love growing herbs. Even if I don’t use them much, just smelling them while I work in the garden lifts my spirits. But, if I have to narrow it down, I’ll say lavender is my real favorite. Working with it calms me and refreshes me and it is so useful for many things from culinary use to medicinal use to cleaning products. LOVE it! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m a totally lavender girl! Cannot get enough of it…tea, spritzer, sugar, lotion! You name it, I love it!
I love most herbs, I would go with rosemary as a must have. Grapefruit mint(and other flavors), cilantro and basil are favorites also! One of these days I will get lavender to live here in Iowa!
It is hard to pick just one, but it will be basil as I grow it and seem to use it the most.
Mint is my favorite for sure…mint in teas, ice cream and hand soaps makes me happy!
I like mint, but also lavender because of the calming effect
I like tumeric for soups and peppermint for headaches. I have many favorites but of these two I favor peppermint.
Lavender, love Lavendar soap.
I really enjoy lavender. I love the scent and it is so pretty. I have two plants and I’d love to have more!
Greetings!
My favorite aromatic herb is Rosemary because it so wonderfully pungent in scent and is delightfully beautiful as a perennial plant. I simply love mixing it with either Thyme or Lavendar to freshen my home. Especially in the Springtime when I open all the windows to let the fresh air in and the breeze blow all throughout. Extremely relaxing and tranquil.
Thank you ever so much for this fabulous opportunity to enter a chance to win!!
I agree with other comments regarding lavender. I have a lavender spray I use while ironing sheets and pillowcases. It’s glorious to turn down the bed and lay your head on a pillow with a light lavender scent. It conjures up thoughts of summer through the long dark winter.
Lavender – soothing comfort. I want to learn to incorporate in my cooking as well…
Basil …my son-in-law grows the BEST!
Hard to narrow down , but if I had to choose a favorite it would be lavender. It is so versatile and has great aromatherapy and medicinal qualities.
My favorite herb is lavender. I just love it’s calming/relaxing properties and how it smells! Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway!

Probably lavender, but I love my rosemary bush too.
It is hard to pick one herb. I love them all and have herbs growing throughout my gardens. I have to pick lavender for its lovely scent and many uses…, but then, there’s rosemary, and just touching it’s leaves and smelling it on your hands is wonderful…not to mention rosemary potatoes….
Love, love, love lavender!!!
Basil it is the herb of love , I love the smell of fresh basil and I use it in many recipes even smoothies
Lavendar! It smells lovely, is anti-inflammatory, great in soaps, essential oil is awesome, and is used in some teas.
I love lavender it is so wonderful in everything i use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just makes you feel so good. Plant it in your garden where you sit to enjoy your favorite book!!
I love to make soups!!!!I thing tarragon goes well with beefs soups but thyme is my fave! Use when cooking poultry based soups as well as seasoning poultry! I have a good size lavender outside in the garden which has grown but has never bloomed! Fingers crossed for this year!

Lavender is such a favorite. My daughter and I have issues sleeping. I sew dried lavender into little hand-made pillows, with essential oils of Lavender as well, for us to rest on. I also make solid lotions with essential Lavender oil, beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and grapeseed oil. I rub it on my temples when I have headaches and chest and under nose when we have sinus issues. We love Lavender. God is so good to us placing these herbs on the earth for our healing. We even use it in a body scrub.
Lavender is mine and my daughter’s favorite at this time. I make little, hand made pillows and stuff them with Lavender, to help us to sleep. We also use it in scrubs and solid lotions. It is a lovely herb.
Rosemary…reminds me of my garden, & fresh air
Mint is my favorite herb, because of its calming smell that reminds me of the mint farms around my childhood home.
My favorite herb is lavender. It has such a calming effect on me. I planted some right outside my bedroom window so that I can enjoy it all through the summer!
Lavender – it’s what sunny afternoons and snuggling with my grandma smell of.
My favorite has to be lavendar. I love it to freshen my drawers and sheets!
I don’t know if lavender is an herb, but I love the color, scent, taste and it’s soothing qualities.
I’m a whole foods plant-based vegan and I love anything plant-based. However, my favorite would be lavendar since I use it everywhere including my pillowcases for a good night’s sleep.
Lavender is my fave!! I love the soothing smell and how relaxed it makes me. It’s a wonder herb!!!
Love the peppermint!!!

Yes, omg. I would love to win. Looks beautiful packaging and most likely wonderful product
Mint! In everything! Tea…soap… Actually, right now I have a room spray with peppermint and lavender. And a candle with eucalyptus mint! And mint chamomile tea!
Peppermint…i spray it and use peppernint candles…i feel it refreshes the air and helps with my sinuses…
I do love bergamot. It makes Tea become Earl Grey. Soothing and gentle and aromatic to boot. 🤗
Lavender because the fragrance and peppermint is good for digestion.
Clary sage!
Calendula is my favorite for all its skin nurturing and soothing properties. And I love how bright and happy it is to grow.
Lavender very calming.
Lemon thyme, so fresh and clean smelling in the kitchen and everywhere else too.
I don’t have a favorite but I use a lot of mint and Lavender. They both help headaches and relax me to help me sleep. starting to use more herbs for family health.
Cinnamon is my fav herb. But I also love peppermint, lavender, sage and turmeric. it’s really hard for me to pick just one. I love cooking with lots of herbs, love to soak in an herb filled tub and love lotions etc. made with real herbs.
I love Lavender, but I too, pick Peppermint as a favorite herb! Love peppermint tea!! Smells so fresh and clean……& energizing!! Mmmmmm…
Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way!! 🙂
Lavender! I love the properties that make it such a great healing and soothing herb. I raise it for culinary purposes, salves, sachets, spritz, aromatherapy, etc.
Basil is my favorite. Has many uses and tastes great
Rosemary because it’s for remembrance. I’ve loved it since I was a teen.
I have to say peppermint…I use it throughout the house to keep mice and spiders out. I also make a spray with it to use on my scalp to help my hair grow and I spray it on every day to my skin and it perks me up. My favorite is spraying it on my feet at night and putting on soft plushy socks to sleep in…helps me go right to sleep!
Like so many others, I’m finding this very difficult. I have a small garden, but still grow many herbs! I’d have to say my favorite non-edible herb is lavender as it’s the first thing I planted in my new perennial garden when I moved. Favorite edible herb would be basil or sage. I use basil more, but I love growing sage!
