I'd also suggest planting some rosemary bushes.
I just planted two that afternoon; now they're still tiny but they'll grow
AND RULE THE WORLD (at least here in Italy).
If you live in a place with a mild climate, they're ideal.
Need little water and are teh yummy with nearly everything.

I heartily endorse this product and/or service!!!

BTW it is impossible to grow rosemary from seeds, the sale of which is
a big con. Sharing cuttings seems to work about half the time,
however.

Yeah, and my sister's German friends actually believed a forest couldn't
grow without human intervention.

Seriously.

At what age does Rosemary bloom?
Mine has been in the ground a good 7 years and never has.

Southwest exposure, South Central Texas.

They had serious acid rain in Germany. Instead of voluntary industrial
reductions of SO2 emissions, reductions were mandated with fines. Guess
what? They got a 30% reduction. I the US same problem, voluntary goals
were set, no change. In the Black Forest, I talked to government
employees who were cleaning out government installed bird houses, to
encourage more nesting and progeny. Germans take care of their forests.

Germans love their forests. To enjoy them, there are thousands of
kilometers of "wanderwegs" hiking paths with benches, barbecues and huts
for shelter from the rain.

Germans were among the first to recycle clear glass, colored glass and,
metal. East Germany is going to be a real test for them though. Toxic
waste sites all over the place.

Because so many Germans migrated to this country (as cheap labor), most
of their customs will seem familiar. Dining, they prefer meat and
potatoes. Sound familiar?

I didn't say it's impossible for rosemary to grow [intransitively]
from seeds. But I could have said more precisely that it's
"impractical" or "practically impossible" [for people] to grow it
[transitively].

However, some plants do spread naturally by non-seedy means.

Nope.
Take a mixture of sand, normal garden earth and the blood of a black cocquerel
slaughtered at midnight of Walpurgisnacht.
The seed will grow.

Give it fertilizer and water during spring.
Cut it off from water during the beginning of summer.
Then just some drops.

That could emulate the conditions of Italy.
