News and events from Jekka's Herb Farm.

Latest news from Jekka's School

As our Herboretum will be exhibiting one of the largest collections of culinary herbs in the UK, we thought it only fitting that we have tasty British local food to accompany our new full day workshops. We are delighted that The Ethicurean will be creating the lunches for the lucky participants of Jekka's workshops.
