In their remedies, children like plants that look and taste sweet and fruity, such as bilberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, chamomile, elderberries, honeysuckle, mint, rosehip – oh, and ginger is great for travel sickness.

What to grow: you can pick elderberries, blackberries and rosehips from wild hedgerows in late summer/early autumn. Mint (all varieties) grows well in pots in semi-shade. For ginger, see here. Blackcurrant and bilberry bushes need space; you can grow both in pots. Honeysuckle grows wild, in the garden or in a large pot with support. Chamomile likes sun, preferably in a border, though pots will do.

What to buy: bilberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, ginger and fresh mint from greengrocers or supermarkets. Dried chamomile, elderberries and rosehips from herbal suppliers and health food shops.
