Herbs
Fresh herbs are now such an important ingredient in our cooking, where would we and our master chefs be without them? We sell a good range of culinary herbs. If you are short of space, why not try one of our herb planters or hanging baskets – you could order one to suit your exact size and contents. So good to add fresh herbs to the BBQ!
Readers of Alys Fowler in The Guardian will be pleased to see we have Leaf Celery included.
We grow the majority of popular herbs and to see the list of herbs that we have in stock at the beginning of the season, please see the list below; this does not, however, guarantee availability. Conversely, there will be additions to our list during the year, so if you are looking for something particular, do ask – we might be able to help. Call us on 01225 862 392 or email us.
Location: We keep a wide selection of herbs, both perennial and annual in season. They are on the benches immediately on your right in the main glasshouse.
