Whether planted in a raised bed, on a balcony or terrace – a fragrant, decorative tea herb garden is a unique little haven of wellbeing. It provides a year-round supply of herbs for delicious and health-boosting herbal teas, while also serving as a paradise for bees and other pollinators. Flowering herbs are an essential food source for many insects, offering both nectar and pollen. And as a bonus, this selection also allows you to create beautiful, aromatic bouquets.
The Tea and Bee Garden seed set brings together eight different herb and flowering plant varieties, offering a vibrant mix of colours, scents, and flavours; from well-loved classics like chamomile and fennel to more unusual varieties such as Modavian dragonhead and cinnamon basil.
