Have you visited our Herb Department?

Herbs delight the senses with their scent, flavor, texture and color. Having been used for thousands of years as medicines, dyes, decorations, symbols, food and flavoring, herbs have a fascinating history and possess a myriad of meanings. Simply put, herbs are some of the most useful plants in the garden and among the easiest to grow.

We offer a comprehensive HERB HANDOUT designed to help you prepare your herb garden, choose the right plants for your space and needs, and successfully maintain your garden throughout the season. Stop by the store for a copy!
