Long ago our forefathers understood the value of these wonderful plants for their medicinal and culinary qualities. Today more and more gardeners are awakening to this practice of providing year round availability by growing their own favorite herbs in their gardens. Whether you’re an apartment or condo dweller with just a small, sunny patio or a farmer on 10 acres of land, herbs can be grown with not much fuss, providing both tasty and ornamental interest.


Flowering Herbs: Most plants flower and plants used for herbs are no exception, but some are more ornamental than others. Some of the favorites we carry are Lavenders, Rosemary, Chives and Oreganos. These can all be blended into the perennial border or vegetable patch to add long blooming, color interest and edible treats. The flowers of these herbs are attractive and also edible. They can be added as garnishes to salads or main entrees with a panache that marks you as a gourmet chef.

Herbs for Foliage: These herbs are often grown for foliage interest in the garden as well as for cooking. We carry colorful Sage varieties, Italian Parsley and Basil (green and purple), Tarragon, Lemon grass, Garlic, Onion sets and Chives. These can be used as both garnishes and seasonings; to plate dishes or spice them up. All available just outside your back door.

Medicinal Value: We have heard customers talk about using these herbs for wonderful, healing teas and poultices for various aches and pains. Of course we suggest you check this out from a reliable reference book or consult your doctor before using but, the suggestion of utilizing herbs for health and welfare we think is an intriguing one.
