Welcome to the Joy of Herbs

​Hi, I’m Rebekah.

​Welcome to Joy of Herbs; this space is dedicated to exploring herb cultivation and traditional plant uses, from seed to sip.

​My goal is to provide clear, practical educational resources on how to grow and utilize plants, whether you are cultivating a backyard garden or exploring traditional preparations for tea, skin, and hair.

In Production: The Seed-to-Sip Video Series

Educational Video Guides & Planting Tutorials, In Production — Coming Soon

​I am currently filming a brand-new weekly video series designed to share the life cycle and traditional uses of various plants.

​The series begins with an educational look at the Basil Family, with a standalone feature on cultivating and using Tulsi (Holy Basil) coming later in the season when the garden is ready.

​Each featured herb will include a dual-video educational release:

​Video 1: In the Garden: A look at cultivation, covering planting methods, companion planting, soil preferences, and harvesting.

​Video 2: In the Botanical Workshop: A walkthrough of traditional recipes, highlighting the plant's therapeutic properties and step-by-step preparations for internal, skin, and hair use.

​The Blog: Downloadable companion planting notes and recipe sheets to accompany the videos.
