Herb garden planting

Creating a herb garden for your community project or business can be an educational tool to engage people with plants, history and local culture.

Being able to pop out your back door and harvest some herbs for your dinner or your morning brew is an easy and healthy addition to your day.

Adding easy-to-grow herbs to the garden of your holiday let gives your guests something extra to enjoy during their stay.

Growing fresh herbs for teas, cooking or garnishes at your cafe provides fresh and local produce that your customers will appreciate.

Talk to us about what herbs would suit your location. We can help you introduce herbs to your space in many ways, from light touch advice to full-service planting and maintenance:

• An hour’s consultation with you at your garden, following up with a list of suggested herbs, where to source them and how to look after them.

• Or a full-service herb planting plan, sourcing of plants and planting for you.

• Full herb garden design, planting and ongoing maintenance.

Note, we are not garden or landscape designers, so we can’t do the specification or build of hard landscaping. We focus on planting design. However, we can happily work alongside someone who can lead on the landscape design or build side of things.
