Grow herbs this spring with Jekka's

As everyone knows, Jekka loves growing herbs from seeds. It is such an easy and affordable way to not only transform your garden but also to provide you with fresh herbs for salads and cooking all summer long.

For instance the taste of fresh Wild Rocket will make your tongue tingle and you will never need to buy a bag from the supermarket again!! We have over 140+ varieties of herb seeds to tantalise your taste buds or to bring pollinators into your garden.

Jekka's top 5 seeds to sow right now are:

1. Borage (Borago officinalis)
2. Celery leaf (Apium graveolens)
3. Chicory (Cichorium intybus)
4. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
5. Red Orach (Atriplex hortensis var. rubra)

There is a wealth of material on our website on how to sow seeds, such as in Jekka's Blogs, as well as Jekka's guide on sustainable gardening that can be seen here.
