A raised bed, plot or even a pot of herbs on your property — or a public place — from which neighbors and passersby are invited to harvest.
A Little Free Herbary can take many physical forms, but the point is always the same: to provide your street, neighborhood or community with free herbs for their use in whatever they like — recipes, remedies, fragrances, teas, and more.
It's as simple as putting one on your front stoop or in your front yard and putting up a sign letting people know they're welcome to pick from it.
It is also, importantly, an invitation to your neighbors that you're open to sharing from your garden — and an opportunity to connect.
Little Free Herbaries create and deepen connections between neighbors, strengthen communities, and allow you to help those around you.
