Growing and Selling Herbs

A couple of warm-hearted, down-to-earth people I know — who prefer to remain nameless — are in the business, and when they opened their herb and gift shop recently, I went up for a visit. When I walked into the new shop, the clean, fresh,healthy smell of spicy herbs made my nose tingle. In side were wicker baskets piled high with dried herbs, and one wall — done in rough old barnwood framed with burlap-covered cornices — displayed a rainbow of dried flowers and grasses. The shelves were chock-full of old-timey herb jellies, sugars and vinegars, and a beautiful antique parlor stove — polished to perfection gleamed in one corner. Next to the stove, on an old wooden bench, were bags of confections . . . the kind you won’t find in a modern candy store. A big picture window held racks of already-arranged herbs and flowers in quaint, old fashioned containers and a near by greenhouse was stuffed with little pots of herb plants to set in kitchen windows and over forty varieties of herbs to plant in the garden.
