What our customers say...

"I have purchased herbs from Kitchen Garden Plant centre and the quality of the plants are unparalleled. Such a fantastic selection to choose from and all grown on their family nursery from scratch. Packaging is great and the advice and guidance offered by this knowledgable team is simply the best. 10/10 would recommend and would only by my plants from this lovely team."

"These lovely folk had the unusual rosemary we had been searching for in lovely growth and good price. Feel more than confident to mail order from them in future too. Also, their Rau Ram (vietnamese coriander) has lovely subtle flavour that we'd never tried before ."

New Varieties & Nursery Favourites

We know the highest yields are produced in small spaces, such as windowsills, window boxes, patio containers and small gardens.

Basil, chives and coriander are my windowsill essentials and a few tiny leaves can jazz up the most basic of meals. We love growing new varieties on the nursery to add to our windowsill and garden favourites

From everyday staples to rare varieties

We grow one of the UK’s most comprehensive ranges of peat-free herbs—from your everyday kitchen staples to rare, unusual varieties you won't find anywhere else. Why not start your own herb garden in a small under-utilised space in your home or garden by purchasing our herbs or one of our popular collections.
