Lovage is a tall, hardy perennial herb with glossy, dark green, celery-like leaves and thick, hollow stems. It can grow up to 6 feet tall and produces clusters of small yellow-green flowers in late spring to early summer, followed by aromatic seeds. All parts of the plant—leaves, stems, seeds, and roots—are edible and have a strong, savory flavor reminiscent of celery with a hint of parsley and anise. Lovage is used to season soups, stews, salads, and broths, and its seeds are often used as a spice similar to celery seed.
Varieties: Levisticum officinale (Common Lovage)

Chives
Chives is a bulbous perennial herb belonging to the same family as onion, leeks and garlic. Chives have long green stems and a mild, not-too-pungent flavor. The green stems are the part of the chives that are used as a herb. Chive stems are hollow and are usually used fresh. In terms of culinary appeal, the flavor of chives is considerably milder and more subtle than onion or garlic and its leaves can be used to flavor salads, dips, soups, stews, vinegars, cheese dishes sour cream and butter. Dried chives are excellent additions to soups and salads, as well as dips, soft cheeses and herbal butters. As an added bonus, chives is a good source of vitamin C.

Marjoram
Marjoram is a tender perennial herb, often grown as an annual in cooler climates, with small, oval, gray-green leaves and a sweet, aromatic scent. It forms a bushy mound and produces clusters of tiny white or pale pink flowers in mid to late summer. The flavor is warm, slightly citrusy, and more delicate than oregano, to which it is closely related. Marjoram is commonly used to season meats, sausages, soups, stews, and Mediterranean dishes, and is excellent in herb blends and dressings.
Varieties: Sweet Marjoram, (Origanum majorana), Wild Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), and Pot Marjoram (Origanum onites).

Thai Basil
Thai Basil is a fragrant, heat-loving perennial herb (grown as an annual in cooler regions) with narrow, pointed green leaves, purple stems, and mauve flower spikes. It has a distinctive sweet, spicy aroma with strong notes of anise and licorice, and its leaves are sturdier and more flavorful than common sweet basil. Thai basil retains its flavor well when cooked, making it ideal for stir-fries, curries, soups, and noodle dishes in Southeast Asian cuisine.
Varieties: Queen of Siam, Siam Queen, and Horapha (common Thai variety).
