A Witches Garden is an herb garden
specifically designed and used for the cultivation of
cooking and magickal, and/or medicinal herbs.
Herb
gardens developed from the general gardens of the ancient classical
worlds, used for growing vegetables, flowers, fruits and medicines. For
centuries the wise women and healers understood the magick with the
herbs for healing and magickal intent. During the medieval period, monks
and nuns acquired this medical knowledge and grew the necessary herbs
in specialized gardens. Later, in fear of losing their power over the
common people, all others; Wise Women and healers we call Witch and Evil
for the same healing they had be honored for centuries before.

and to "give an aromatic flavour to cheese" and liqueurs". In the
European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep
and ward off nightmares. (Huxley 1992). In this period, women would also

assure passage into the next life.

A culinary herb. Fresh and dried dill leaves (sometimes called "dill
weed" to distinguish it from dill seed) are used as herbs. Like caraway,
its fern like leaves are aromatic, and are used to flavor many foods,
such as gravlax (cured salmon), borscht and other soups, and pickles
(where sometimes the dill flower is used). Dill is said to be best when
used fresh, as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried; however,
freeze-dried dill leaves preserve their flavor relatively well for a few
months. Dill seed is used as a spice, with a flavor similar to caraway.
Dill oil can be extracted from the leaves, stems and seeds of the
plant.

monastic herb gardens developed into botanical gardens.
