Plant Description
Chamomile is a versatile addition to any food forest, offering numerous benefits for both plants and people. It self-sows, meaning it will return year after year without fail, enriching the ecosystem with its natural ability to fix nitrogen in the soil and improve fertility. Chamomile’s aromatic blossoms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies while deterring pests such as aphids, making it an excellent companion crop for vegetables and fruits. By nurturing nearby plants and supporting soil health, chamomile helps keep your food forest thriving. Plus, its fragrant flowers can be harvested and brewed into a calming herbal tea, bringing relaxation straight from your garden to your teapot.
Whether you’re maintaining a thriving food forest or seeking a sustainable, multi-purpose addition to your garden, chamomile is the ideal choice to enrich your soil, support biodiversity, and bring soothing moments to your life.
