From Small Seeds, Great Things Grow!
There is always something wonderful to discover in Jekka's Herbetum, whatever the season! This autumn, our Myrtle (Myrtus communis) has surprised us with an extraordinary abundance of beautiful dark berries, more than we can remember seeing before. We're looking forward to harvesting them to make a delicious myrtle liqueur!
As the garden settles into autumn, we're looking ahead to a new season of growing, with some exciting news to share.
We're delighted to announce Jekka's latest book, Grow Everything from Seed, alongside a new Kitchen Garden Seed Collection inspired by the book. And with the festive season approaching, we've brought together some of our favourite gifts for gardeners, cooks and anyone who loves growing their own herbs.
Introducing Jekka's New Book: Grow Everything from Seed
We're thrilled to announce that Jekka's latest book, Grow Everything from Seed: How to Achieve Sowing Success, will be published by DK on 25th March 2027.
Drawing on more than 40 years of growing experience, Jekka shares her knowledge of raising plants from seed, from herbs, vegetables and fruit to flowers, climbers and even cacti.
Combining practical advice with the science behind germination, Jekka explains why seeds behave as they do, how to create the right conditions for success and how to overcome common growing challenges.
“A seed can be so small that it almost vanishes on the tip of your finger, yet within it lies the future.” Jekka
A wonderful addition to any gardener's bookshelf, whether you're sowing your first seeds or have been growing for years.

To celebrate, we have created Jekka's Kitchen Garden Seed Collection, featuring five of our favourite culinary herbs to sow, grow and harvest, adding fresh flavour to your everyday dishes. Perfect for Secret Santa or as a little stocking filler. |
Give the Gift of Growing This Christmas
At Jekka's, we believe the most thoughtful gifts are those that bring pleasure long after they've been opened. Every product in our shop has been carefully chosen by us, from the gardening tools we use every day in our glasshouse to the herbal infusions we enjoy drinking and the beautiful gifts we've selected for the home.
Our popular Gardeners Gift Boxes bring together some of our favourite items, lovingly hand-packed here at the farm. For a gift that lasts beyond Christmas, why not choose a Seed Club membership, bringing fresh inspiration throughout the year?
Whether you're treating a keen gardener, an enthusiastic cook or someone discovering herbs for the first time, we hope you'll find something to inspire them to grow this season in our online shop.
