The Herb Garden Collection is a collection of ten classic culinary herbs.
Herbs are not hard plants to grow, and given how expensive herbs and spices tend to be, it’s well worth it for what you can save, and of course, fresh spices and herbs have far better flavours than dried ones.
Each of the seeds are supplied in a resealable ziplock bag, and come complete with an A5 information sheet containing colour pictures, information about the plant, sowing guidelines and cultivation advice.
