Aromatic and medicinal plants
This category is made up of all those plants which, independently of their family of origin, are rich in essential oils and sweet-smelling substances, used in cooking and by herbalists. Some species also have medicinal properties, like peppermint or lemon balm.
As early as the nineteenth century, they were found in numerous European gardens, particularly in Mediterranean ones.
