Gardening with Aromatic Plants – herbs

Our school organised a gardening course focused on aromatic plants. The location was the school’s garden and its greenhouse. This course was divided in different phases:

The practical phase = the green phase. (see photos)
preparation of the soil outside the greenhouse
preparation of the greenhouse
sowing seeds – buying plants
daily care taking of the plants

the theoretical phase= Internet phase (see example Laurel/bay leaf)
The students did some research on these aromatic plants, focusing on :
general characteristics - description
habitat
parts of the plant that are used
where and why is the plant used (medicine, kitchen, cosmetics)
curiosity (stories, legends)

the gastronomic phase =the finishing touch (SEE EXAMPLE CAMOMILE LIQUEUR )
Together with their teachers the students found or invented recipes with aromatic plants.

Research:
LAUREL – BAY LEAF
(Laurus nobilis)

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Laurel belongs to the family of the Lauraceae; it is an evergreen plant.Its dimensions vary from bush to tree (sometimes 10 m.) , the oval leaves are thick and hard ( 10 cm. Long); the colour is deep brilliant green on top, light opaque green on the inside, the edges are undulated. The smell is strong and spicy.Laurel flourishes in March-April, the flowers are small green yellowish. Its fruit is black and contains only one seed which ripens in October - November.
HABITAT:
The plants grows spontaneously in the Mediterranean woods; it is also used as ornamental plant.
FEATURES :
Aromatic, aperitif, digestive, stimulating, slightly antiseptic. Note that all Laurel is poisonous except the gastronomic one .
PARTS USED:
The leaves are used in the kitchen , the fruit is used in pharmaceutical products
In the kitchen : widely used in the kitchen: its aroma, stimulates the appetite and favours the enzymes of the digestion, it is indispensable in stew, soup, sauces but also to marinate : game, cod, potato soup and cooked fish.
Beauty: a handful of laurel in the bathwater gives it a special perfume , it gives relief to painful limbs
Health: Recommended as aperitif and digestive; it calms cough and bronchitis. It is used in skin creams : the oil of the berries is used against rheumatic pain and contusions. Curiosity :
Laurel was already known in ancient Greece and Rome as the symbol of peace and victory in the military and sports field for this reason it is also called “Lauro Nobile”. In ancient Greece it was dedicated to Apollo, God of music and poetry, as well as Lord of the Oracle of Delphi, according to testimonies the first of six temples was completely built with laurel branches. It was told that the “Pizia” who told the oracle went in trance after having inhaled the smoke of burned laurel leaves , in fact, when taken in large quantities, the plant can have hypnotic effects. Laurel was a sacred plant for Asclepio, God of medicine and Apollo’s son: for centuries it was used against many kind of illnesses : for example the plague. Today it is still used to refresh the house and in flour containers or dried figs to keep away insects.

The Val di Vara is a little known part of Liguria which is gaining a reputation for good quality organic food.
This part of Italy is best known for its stunning coastline, the Italian Riviera, the mountain region of the Val di Vara is a part of Liguria that has hardly been explored by tourists. It's an area that is well known in Italy however, as it has a reputation as a 'green' organic valley. The main town is Varese Ligure, once a resort for wealthy Genoese families escaping the heat and mosquitoes of the coast in summer. The whole area is making great efforts to be as green as possible: wind turbines and solar panels provide power, and waste is carefully recycled.
Many farmers in the valley raise their cattle organically, and the butcher's in Varese Ligure often has queues outside. There is also an organic cheese factory and organic yoghurt factory. Small producers in the valley also make honey - the chestnut one is particularly good . In the hill village of Castiglione Chiavarese, you can also find wine and olive oil at the Azienda Agricola Pinogino. The area, with its thick chestnut and beech forests, is also noted for its excellent porcini mushrooms.
