    How can I order these plants into my country Nigeria

      There are a lot of catalogs here in U.S. that offer plants and seeds. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is White Flower Farm in Connecticut. Perhaps you can create some sort of exchange with them. ( they are a bit pricey however they have quality plants ) . I will search and return with other providers. I use marigolds, lemon balm, basil, rosemary, lavender and mint regularly. I do notice the effectiveness.
      I’m so suprised I’ve never seen a request for these plants for your country before. Hope I can help !

    Hi
    The biggest problem we find in some of the countries in Africa is where do you get their seeds so we can grow .

    It would also be wonderful if people who know about these plant share the way we can establish small business where we can help other people to grow these so it helps many people to get rid of mosquitos and eventually malaria

    Some videos of how to start from the beginning would also help

    Hi Clementuo,
    If you can’t get plants imported into Nigeria, you probably CAN get seeds. Seeds are usually able to be imported without any trouble or the huge expense that bringing plants in… then hoping they survive the quarantine process.
    Best of luck!! : ) Sherry

    Just a fair warning- Tansy is an invasive species and is toxic to horses and cattle. It does not affect goats, in fact they love it. Horses and cattle build it up in their system over a short period and eventually die from it’s poison. They will not eat it if they are well fed, but there of course is always an exception to this. I’ve seen horses die from this- my husband used to be a farrier- and it is a horrible death. It grows literally like a weed. Please be careful where you plant this!!

    Pitcher plant grows wild in an area in N.W. FL. and it’s beautiful but it stinks REALLY REALLY BAD much like a rotting animal.
