Herbs

Perfect for the beginner

Mediterranean herbs thrive in full sun and don’t need much watering – perfect for the beginner! Choose from rosemary, oregano, chives and mint. Plant in free-draining soil or compost, in the ground or in pots. Harvest to use at home but leave some to flower so the bees have something to eat, too!
