Celebrate Pollinators & Summer with Jekka's

We were delighted to host Jekka's How to Use Herbs Master Class this week, where participants explored the culinary and medicinal use of herbs with both Jekka and Alistair. The master class taught about the different tastes of herbs, how to prepare simple dishes and how to preserve them for future use.

During the class, we picked herbs for use in our lunch during Jekka's Herbetum tour, which included Jekka's Summer Rolls and Jekka’s Kuku Sabzi. On the tour we saw a variety of pollinators from honey bees and bumble bees to baby lady birds and a beautiful tiger moth.

If you missed out, you can see and learn about our bees & pollinators at Jekka's June Herb Days, more information below, and you can make Jekka's Summer Rolls using the recipe online.

 

 


 

Jekka's range of Basils are extremely popular as they not only look good, taste fantastic but are wonderful for your pollinators.

They will be available at Jekka's June Herb Days but if you cannot make it, you can arrange a farm collection or, if you fancy growing your own, check out Jekka's Basil Seed Collection.
