For example, chamomile can help soothe anxiety and aid with sleep, while ginger can help with digestion and alleviate nausea. Choose herbs based on their properties and what you want to use them for.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Climate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Different herbs have different temperature preferences. For example, lavender and rosemary prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate, while parsley and cilantro thrive in cooler temperatures. Research the preferred climate of the herbs you&#8217;re interested in growing to ensure they will flourish in your area.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Space:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some herbs, like mint and oregano, can become invasive and take over your garden. Consider planting these herbs in containers or a separate garden area to prevent them from spreading too much. On the other hand, herbs like basil and thyme can be planted closer together and take up less space.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sunlight:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many herbs require full sun to thrive, but some can tolerate partial shade. For example, cilantro and parsley prefer some shade during the hottest part of the day. If your garden doesn&#8217;t receive a lot of sun, consider planting herbs that can tolerate shade.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24f78bf header2-subhead e-flex e-con-boxed
