Spring Is Here – Join us this March as a new season begins at Jekka's

Newsletter: 1st March

Spring Begins at Jekka's

There is something very special about March at Jekka’s, it marks the start of our new year in the garden. After the stillness of winter, the first fresh shoots begin to appear: Chives, Mint and Lemon Balm quietly re-emerging, bringing that unmistakable sense of the season turning.

Across the farm, Rosemary has been in full bloom, washing the garden in soft blues and mauves with a delicate splash of pink; a welcome burst of colour while much of the garden is still gently waking.

In the glasshouse, the growing year begins once more as we sow our first Basil seeds of the season. A small but hopeful act that signals longer days and the promise of summer fragrance to come.

Spring is on its way, and we so look forward to welcoming you back to the Herb Farm. Our season begins with our first Master Class on Friday 20th March on Botanical Screenprinting, followed by our first open days of the year on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th March.

Don’t miss your chance to experience the garden at the very start of the season. Secure your place today and join us for the magic of early spring at Jekka’s.

Herbs for Mothers Day

This Mother’s Day, why not give a gift that continues to grow long after the day itself?

Herbs are thoughtful, fragrant and full of meaning. Whether chosen for their culinary charm, their soothing scent or their beautiful flowers, herbs make a wonderful present.

We have a created range of herb seed collections and gardening gift boxes to suit a variety of gardening interests. Our Jekka’s Health & Wellbeing Gift Box has been especially popular; it includes our carefully curated selection of seeds, paired with a herbal infusion, a mug and a beautifully scented candle, offering relaxation, comfort and the joy of gardening.

Or perhaps the most special gift of all is time together. Treat your mum to a visit to Jekka’s with an Open Day Ticket. Join us for an inspiring garden tour and an entertaining herb talk with Jekka, followed by a slice of homemade cake and perhaps a plant or two for her own garden.

A beautiful lasting memory. The perfect treat!

 

We’re delighted to be opening the herb farm gates for our first open days on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th March - Tickets are now online!

Join us on the farm to explore our spring herb selection, seek advice from our team, and enjoy the atmosphere of the herb garden as it begins its new season. Whether you’re planning a kitchen garden, refreshing containers, or simply looking for inspiration, March is the perfect moment to begin work on your garden.

Each day is split into morning and afternoon sessions, with every visit including:

  • A guided garden tour of Jekka's Herbetum and Herb Garden
  • An inspiring herb talk with Jekka
  • A special guest appearance from Mike Palmer.

Many of you will know Mike through his online gardening videos and column in Amateur Gardening Magazine. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask your gardening questions and gain practical, expert advice.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones. Click on the ticket images below to purchase.

Tickets are limited for each session, so we encourage you to book early to secure your place
