Rosemary History
Another herb native to the Mediterranean, rosemary comes from the Latin word rosmaris which means “dew of the sea,” a reference to rosemary’s refreshing effects on the spirit.
Students in ancient Greece would wear garlands of rosemary to increase their memory, which is how it became known as the “Herb of Crowns.”
Rosemary has long been recognized as a symbol of remembrance, and in the Middle Ages, newlywed couples would plant a branch of rosemary on their wedding day as a symbol of their love and union.
