If you want easy access to healing medicinal herbs, plant herbs like calendula and lavender in your home garden.

You can start an herb garden in your homestead, or in a container garden if you live in an apartment in the city. (h/t to TheEpochTimes.com)

Benefits of having a medicinal herb garden
While you can simply buy medicinal herbs at a health food store, it's better to grow your own herbs because of these amazing benefits:

Beginners can easily grow herbs

Gardening is often a daunting task, but even beginners can start with a herb garden. If space is an issue, you can grow herbs and vegetables in containers.

Depending on soil quality, you can plant crops indoors, in pots and other containers, or directly in the ground.

Herbs don't need a lot of maintenance and you can leave some herbs in areas where they get morning sun, like your front porch. Herbs also don't need much fertilizing, and they can handle a wide range of temperatures.

Home gardening is therapeutic

Whether you're only growing medicinal herbs in containers or going all out with a home garden for different fruits and vegetables, gardening can help you feel better both mentally and physically.

You can save money by growing your own herbs

Fresh or dried herbs are often expensive, especially if you often buy organic herbs.

On the other hand, growing herbs can be fairly cheap. While growing vegetables can also be cost-efficient, it can take some more startup costs along with a steeper learning curve.
