The Herbology Class with Mrs. Hestia Tea


Mrs. Hestia Tea is on the left, and Mrs. Plum is on the far right.

 

Mrs. Hestia Tea encourages the ladies to explore the herb garden. They start with a Wormwood Plant.

 

 

Ick! Wormwood smells terrible! Why in the world would you grow this?
Mrs. Tea explains that it is useful for repelling mosquitoes.

 


Some of the ladies are doubtful as to whether or not this herbal property justifies the bitter smell.

 

 


A much more pleasant scent! although it looks like grass, it is actually Chives, and herb with an oniony taste.


Some herbs can be grown inside during the winter months, such as this Basil.
