Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

If you're old enough to remember the Simon and Garfunkel song, feel free to sing along with us "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" but if these lyrics mean nothing to you, just visit the greenhouse and ask one of our staff (preferably one who looks old enough to vote) to sing it to you as you shop around. We can't promise it'll be pretty, but it'll certainly be entertaining.

If you haven't already guessed, it's herb time! Yahoo! You should see how many different types we have this year (hint: there are over 40!). So many herbs, so little thyme (bad pun, we know).

In addition to individually potted herbs, you will find fabulous collections of them. Above is the Provence/French Cooking collection. We feel more cultured just talking about it. Along the same lines, we have the Italian Cooking collection. Now if we could just get ourselves a greenhouse chef we'd be in good shape. Oh, before we forget to mention, we have a spa collection. Can you stand it? We keep pretending to be exhausted and overworked so someone will surprise us with these!! Each herb collection includes eight heavenly little plants.

Here is more potted goodness - oregano plants mixed with other herbs that will make you want to race home and cook something (anything) as an excuse to enjoy these.

So treat someone special (and by this we mean you) to some fresh herbs today!

You'll thank yourself!
