Herbs are lush and deliciously fragrant. Herb gardens are easy to grow and use in our facilities. Utilize them as garnishes or in a featured dish. Involve the residents in helping you plant them in pots, keep them watered and even choosing the dishes that they are used in. Trusty salad herbs include:
Basil Snip or pinch stems often to keep plants growing bountifully.
Chives Savor the mild-onion flavor of the grass-like leaves as well as the pretty purplish flowers.
Thyme Try varieties like lemon or orange in salads to add a touch of their bright flavors.
Rosemary The fresh, piney flavor is the best in dressings and vinaigrettes.
