Borage has many wonderful benefits! In this video I mention quite a few!

Both the leaves and flowers are edible with great cucumber-like taste. Loaded with nutrients including Vitamin C, A, Zinc, Magnesium, and Iron.  Also high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which is good for joint health, boosts immunity, and promotes healthy skin, among many other benefits. 

Excellent companion plant for vegetable and fruit plants like Tomatoes, spinach, brassicas, and various legumes. 

Attracts bees and butterflies for pollination. 

Produces lots of green mulch for the garden.
