In your herb garden in February

Garden Organic Ryton

There is still time to order in seed for the herb garden. Many shops and garden centres, including the shop at Garden Organic Ryton, have a vast seed collection on display. There are also evergreen herbs available, suitable for planting in the garden as soon as the worst weather is over.

When choosing seed, why not select some species that will encourage beneficial insects, such as hoverflies, lacewings and bees, into your garden. These insects find many herbs attractive, including hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), sage (Salvia officinalis) and thymes (Thymus species). More specific detail can be found against each entry in The Organic Gardening Catalogue.

Garden Organic members can browse our factsheet 'Attracting beneficial insects' in the members' area of this website.

You can order a wide selection of organic herb seed in The Organic Gardening Catalogue.
