What Is a Tea Garden?
Tea, as you likely know, is made from steeping the leaves of a certain plant in hot water. Herbal teas and tisanes incorporate leaves, flowers, and fruits from other plants into the mix.
Just as you can grow your own vegetables, you can also grow your own ingredients for tea. Check out a few of our top picks.
