Guest Guest Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 How can I find out what grows in our area? I live in MN, and I'm interested in knowing what herbs can be grown naturally or planted here. Not sure if I said that right, but I hope you know what I mean......thanks for your help!

logcabinmama Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 HappyGirl, here is a site of people who grow herbs and sell them.

Bamboo Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 HG, you might also try your county extension office. They usually have free brochures with pictures of plants that grow wild in each area.
