I will start off by saying Iām a chef so even before I started my journey we had a very well stocked herb and spice collection. A lot of these were grown and dried by myself. The spice on the window sill along with the mortar and pestle are for a cooking class we are teaching. We normally keep all of our herbs and spices in the white bins in cabinet.
In my garden I currently have: Chives, Mint, Lavender, oregano, marjoram, Thyme, Lemongrass, raspberries, strawberries, hula berries and grapes
I have some plants I have started from seed. Tarragon, Passion flower, lavender, nasturtium, chamomile and rosemary.
Looking for Nettle and mugwortā¦if anyone can direct me I would appreciate it!
I tumble and polish all my own crystals, I will be selling them soon on my web site
Iām a beekeeper so I have honey, Propolis and bees wax
Currently drying rose petals and wild violets (our state flower). I have lots more violets but they are in a note book so they will look pretty!
I make and sell spell bottles, I make Egyptian magic balm, I make a dream tea, Peppermint tea, Propolis tincture, Plantain poultice, rose oil, rose bath salts, bees wax lotion bars. Im sure Im forgetting something.

Thatās amazing Malinda, my friend is a 
bee keeper and she gave me a recipe for lip balm
I am going to try making it cause she gave me some bees wax! Know I just need to find the picture she gave me that has the recipe in my phone somewhere!
It turned out really good!
Here is my little collection of herbs! Now all I need to do is figure out how do use them! I have thinking of getting my own green house! This is the beginning of a wonderful journey! ![image|666x500]

So exciting, @CelestiaMoon! I think youāll find that opening the door to Green Witchcraft is like falling into wonderland- there are so many possibilities and wonderful uses for plants and herbs! 
I hope you enjoy the course 
Thatās amazing that you got jars with your magickal name inscribed on them, @IrisW- what a great idea! 
How did your herb hunt go? I hope you were able to find some interesting ones! 
An absolutely stunning collection, @Christina4- you have quite the impressive apothecary on hand! I absolutely love that wicker basket 
Thank you for sharing all your treasures, they are a delight to see 
Nice job with the cat grass, @AliceInWonderdab! 
Iām sure your furry friends will enjoy it 
You are amazing for organizing your herbs alphabetically, @Kasandra 
Everything must be so neat and orderly- it must help a lot when its time to find one herb in particular!
Lovely, @Garnet! 
As Garnet is a valuable and much-beloved stone, it sounds like you chose your magickal name well! It suits you 
Iām in awe, @malinda- what a treasure trove of herbs and spices! Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pictures. Youāve made this kitchen witch very jealous- your collection is really amazing 
And you have bees too! Ah! Iāve always to keep bees- they are a blessing in the gardens. Not to mention the yummy honey! 
You have a wonderful friend to gift you with fresh bees wax, @Jeannie1! And such a gorgeous collection- you have so many treasures and delights! Thanks for sharing

I love your garden & I have a rock tumbler too! I currently have Tigerās Eye, Hematite, Dalmation Jasper, Red Jasper, Agate, Rose Quartz, Quartz, & Green Aventurine going in it. I just have one more polish cycle to go. I love tumbling the stones.
I love the way your garden has layers, it must work for the strawberries to just creep down to a different section.
@Garnet I have 1 polished garnet & a garnet ring. They are pretty pricey, but such a beautiful stone.

I love all the plants.I managed to score a flat of small lidded jars (about 20+ in total) at the Sally Ann for a mere $4.99 and have been filling them with different apothecary needs.
Eggshells and orange peels! I learnt the most magnificent hack to getting the shell of in basically one piece and then to get the skin off that shell! So put your egg in a jar or cup with cold water about half full and then shake it vigorously for about 2-8 seconds. Voila watch it slide on off. Then toss the shell into that jar with more cold water and leave it, 2 hours, 4 hours, overnite~whatever~then let the shell dry and the skin peels away with ease!

Wellā¦not sure how witchy it is. I am on the fence about whether just about everything is magick, or if thatās not legit
Anyway, I have a self-care box that is KIND of like an apothecary in that I go to it when I need to chill or focus. Itās just a school box I keep on my desk. It has aromatherapy sprays and roll ons in lavender and peppermint. Lavender is soothing and peppermint is good for the blues or for focus. Thereās are some fidgets in there, some theraputty, gum, a rose quartz and a little book I made with a mini photo album. Each page is a different idea for coping with stress, anxiety or depression (e.g. walk outside and touch ten trees, affirmations, breathing, activity, etc.). Kind of like mental health band-aids Thatās what I mean about everything being magick, in a way. You set an intention, you do it, it works itās a spell, lol. I have a big box full of herbs and candles and magickal tools but day to day, this is my go-to solution.

For my Weekly Witchy Challenge I unfortunately am just beginning the path of Green Witchcraft so I am light on all the glorious goodies everyone is posting. I dried some Roseās this evening thoughā¦
plan using them for Beltane. I also am doing the Lesson on Green Witchcraft. I ordered a book about it also.
I thought Iād go to the nursery tomorrow and pick up an Aloe plant with a hook and hang it in front of my kitchen window and a jade plant for outside my door.
Everyone has beautiful cabinets and shelves of their apothecaries Iām just in Aweā¦Well done everyone.
Blessed Be Witches

Christina,
I am so happy to share with you, I cant wait to see your treasures too from your grandmother that are very special!!Recently I restored the china hutch so I could use to put all my special things on display for all to see and for theme to shine. A really good friend gave me a citrine crystal once so I purchased a moon shelf and it sits on my shelf. What a good feeling, all the time I see it and I think of her! I feel so blessed! I really feel blessed.

Rowan,
Are you looking for a calming agent? Or sleep aid? I know your daughter is allergic to lavender and I know that valerian is for Love 
Sleep 
Purification & Protection
You can use it for a protective sachets, hung in the home to guard it against lighning and placed in the pillow to aid in falling asleep. It is used as a charm to to ward evil away!
I hope this helps valerian probaly does not smell as good, but it is an alternative.
