A unique group visit awaits you at Jekka’s

 

A group visit to Jekka’s is more than a day out, it’s a shared journey into the world of herbs.

Set in the South Gloucestershire countryside, Jekka’s has been described as “a living book of herbs.” For more than 40 years, it has been a place of learning, inspiration, and shared discovery; where plants, people, and stories come together.

Discover a World of Herbs

Your private group visit begins in Jekka’s Herbetum, home to the largest collection of culinary herbs in Europe. With over 400 varieties arranged into plant families across 38 raised beds, it offers a rich and inspiring living resource for the study of culinary, medicinal, and historical herb use.

“We came away full of ideas, knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for the world of herbs.” 

Alongside Jekka’s Herbetum lies Jekka’s Herb Garden, inspired by Jekka’s award-winning show gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Created as a source of inspiration, the garden features sixteen themed oval beds, showcasing planting combinations and practical garden design ideas. Framing the herb garden are Jekka’s gravel herb beds, which explores resilient planting solutions for our changing climate.

 A Guided Experience, Tailored to Your Group 

Every visit is led by an expert guide and can be tailored to your group’s interests, whether that’s gardening, food, history, sustainability, art, or wellbeing.

Jekka’s has welcomed groups from across the UK and around the world, including garden clubs, cookery schools, art societies, allotment groups, historical organisations, and professional bodies working in food, fragrance, and health.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories from decades of horticultural experience, including how Jekka’s became the first organic, peat-free grower to win a Gold Medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and how our herbs were featured in the film Hamnet.

"Our Food Tour group from Western Australia were completely absorbed from start to finish on our summer visit to Jekka's. From receiving generous advice on horticulture, to listening to relevant and fascinating stories plus a plethora of handy tips, the time flew past and quite frankly, none of us wanted to leave."
