Editor’s Note: For the next couple of months with the help of the National Garden Bureau, we’ll be taking a look at niche garden options.

Kitchen gardens are great, but for those looking to dial in even further, what about a tea garden? Growing our own cuppa is possible and gardeners can choose their favorites from a wide variety of flavors. Think of the possibilities for an end cap display or even a tea party-themed display at retail. Here are some plant options and GO HERE to see the full blog post on NGB.org, as well as many more plant recommendations.

• Lemon balm
• Lemongrass

• Roman chamomile (perennial) GP
