Fun Facts 

Used to be worn by brides and also given as gifts to wedding guests as a symbol of the brides purity. Today that tradition has been replaced with a bouquet of flowers.
"Rosemary and Thyme" is the name of a British TV mystery Series staring Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris as Gardening Detectives!

There is a religious fable, that says that the rosemary plant will never grow taller than the height of Jesus, which is 1.8 meters (6 feet).

During the Middle Ages, Rosemary started to be used in Europe, for culinary applications.

Greek scholars used to carry sprigs of Rosemary to help improve memory. It was also often associated with lover's fidelity and remembrance.

In Australia, sprigs of rosemary are worn on Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day to honour the soldiers who died in the First World War. Rosemary is believed to strengthen memory and so it became a symbol to help us to never forget.
