Herbs

Herb garden, Fresh herbs, Basil

Herbs are modest plants with a big effect: a pinch of basil or a sprig of thyme can change a whole dish. In dreams they usually stand for the small things that make an ordinary day better, and for practical knowledge handed down, such as a grandparent's cooking or a garden tip that always works. Their scent can stir a memory before you even know why. Herbs that have gone to seed can mean a good idea was left waiting too long before you put it to use.
