    I'm planting alot of farm hedging this winter, 500m. I'd like to also plant plants that can be used for human and even animal medical remedies.

    Any ideas of what plants I could plant in the hedge?

    I'll be mixing it with the likes of Hazel, Blackthorn, Crab Apple, Whitethorn.

    I already have some Rosehiip, Whitethorn, Blackberries.

    Hello I am from India here as a herbal medicinal plant we use TULSI, ASHWAGANDHA, NEEM, etc. Also I want other herbal plants if known.

    Bay leaf tree. Gives good flavour to soup or tea, good source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. These vitamins are all known to support a healthy immune system. Bay leaf tea can help ease bouts of upset stomach. The tea is also very aromatic, which can help relieve sinus pressure or stuffy nose.

    Lemon balm.. Low growing so will fill gaps. aka melissa officinalis

    It is the one medicinal herb I use almost daily. Helps sleep without side effects.. Just a few leaves...
