Jekka's Easter Culinary Herb Garden

Herbs can transform a meal into a feast, they are the high notes in the orchestra as the conductor makes the music swirl around the auditorium. We have built our culinary collection to almost 500 plants, quite a large orchestra, but we still find new flavours and delights to tantalise our taste buds. 

As the weather changes and the long weekend approaches it is the perfect time to go out into the garden and tidy up your herb bed or transform that forgotten area by the back door into a culinary feast. To help you do this, our latest blog post looks at designing, planting and maintaining a culinary herb garden and making your own  orchestra.

Time to Sow

• Dill (Anethum graveolens) a deliciously edible annual.
• Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) a truly useful herb as every part is edible, from root to seed.
• Wild rocket (Diplotaxis muralis), its deeply divided green leaves have a lovely peppery flavour.
