    1. Rosemary


    Rosemary (lat. Rosmarinus officinalis) is a plant whose name is derived from the Latin ros (dew) and marinus (sea), or in other words ”dew of the sea”- the breeze from the sea bringing in the moisture is very favourable for its growth. It is at the same time a spice and a natural remedy. It is widely used as a spice in Mediterranean cuisine. It is a spice for soups, stewed vegetables, meat and all kinds of roasts. 

    2. Lavender


    Lavender grows as a shrub up to 1.2 meters in height and about 1 meter in width. Lavender is mostly used as an antiseptic and in aromatherapy. Leafs and petals are used for salads, soups and cooked meals. The flowers can be crystallized with sugar and added to marmalades and ice cream which is really tasty.

    3. Basil


    Basil name comes from the Greek basileus – a royal aromatic plant from a family of mints. It has sweet and pleasant fragrance and it is one of the most popular spices used in many cuisines of the world, especially in the Mediterranean. It is used while making vegetable soups, sauces, pasta, simpler meat dishes, fish and seafood. It has an antibacterial, soothing effect.

    4. Fennel

    Its name comes from the Latin foenum – hay, due to its narrow leaf apex that appears to look like hay when dried. All its parts are aromatic and sweet. It is healing many health problems. All parts of the fennel, the plant, bulbs, stems and leaves are used in meal preparation. It is best to serve it fresh. There are many interesting combinations of fennel with vegetables and fruits in salads.

    5. Immortelle
