Feeling the winter sniffles? Colder weather getting you down? Melissa’s got a showcase of great herbs with all the benefits to keep you feeling fresh during the cold winter months, as well as a sustainable small-space herb project to boot. But to start this project, she’s going to a reverse garbage centre to unleash her creativity and find an old item perfect for storing the herbs. You’ll not only save money buying second-hand but will help the environment too. A nice warm pot of tea with mint picked fresh from your new herb garden might just help warm you up during these cold winter days.
