The Germander has now been cut back in order to allow it to put on some growth and provide a low evergreen hedge for the winter. You can do the same now or leave it until the spring 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #allotment #horticulture

We picked up a pot of this gorgeous looking (and smelling) Basil at the local garden centre, here in Spain where we’re spending a few weeks. Meanwhile, Sam, Abby, Ben, Ross, Nicky and Andy will keep everything running as smoothly as always back at the nursery 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #basil #mojacar

That’s it, all of our events are finished for the year, although we continue to grow herbs and sell them to our wholesale customers and online - and this is how the tunnels look at the minute (the neatest, loveliest ones 😉) with others in the process of being cleared, cut back, weeded, refilled. 🌱🇬🇧

It’s taken six weeks to grow these wonderful crates full of different mints for our display at the RHS Wisley Flower Show that starts on Tuesday. From cutting plants back, potting them up, moving them outside, then into crates - a real labour of love and perfection to get them looking just right 🌱🇬🇧
