Useful Plants
How many plants can you find in your garden, or just outside your garden in the weed patch down the road, which have amazingly useful properties? Some can be used as medicines, in beauty creams, as perfume, as food, or simply as decorative items. Some don’t even require much effort to derive those benefits. Collect jasmine blossoms for potpourri, burn eucalypt gum as incense, eat wattle candy, use gum nuts for earrings or other craft items, put nasturtium leaves and blossoms in your salad (not to mention other weeds like dandelion and evening primrose), put lemon-scented tea tree leaves in your tea, or line your drawers with lemon-scented eucalypt leaves to retard moths, and use rosemary or lavender stalks as barbecue skewers.
