What to grow: gotu kola, lemon balm, St John’s wort andvervain grow easily in the garden, though gotu kola andvervain are tender, so bring under cover in winter. (See how to plant a Raise the Spirits pot see here.) Rose root actually likes the cold, but give it good drainage; it’s a succulent plant and you don’t want it to rot through a wet winter. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) grows well here, but roots from 6-7-year-old plants are used, so it may be easier to buy!

What to buy: Panax ginseng roots from Asian and health food shops. Dried gotu kola, St John’s wort and vervain from herbal suppliers.
