Because I can’t decide which I like most - beautiful colours from last night and luckily limited to only four photos on here 😁 Basque Country 😍

It was lemon (with lemon verbena) drizzle cake day today 🌱🇬🇧

We’ve had a lovely walk around Winchester, taking in the viaduct. Then it was home to discover our little woolly neighbours had popped in to say hello 🌱🇬🇧 #winchester #sundaywalks #chawton

The geraniums and hydrangeas by out front door are still beautiful, blooming and looking lovely 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #bloomscrolling #gardens

Back to the herbs and the African Blue Basil is still covered in flowers - it’s such a good variety for growing outside until the frosts kill it off and has a very good flavour and fragrance - and the bees absolutely love it too 🌱🇬🇧

I forgot to post these pics of the exotic garden at Wisley - one of my two fav places whenever I visit. I love the bananas, giant hibiscus, coleus, castor oil - the big, bold, colourful mix 🌱

Happy 5th Birthday Sorrel! Still barking at anyone who turns up but then wanting to get in their car and go home with them 😊 Our little Lakeland nursery dog 🌱🇬🇧

A Red Admiral on the strawberry mint today - the detail is extraordinary and so beautiful 🌱🇬🇧 #butterfly #mint #herbs

🐝 enjoying the flowering compact hyssop yesterday 🌱🇬🇧 A lovely addition to any herb garden for these beautiful flowers at this time of year #pollinators #herbs #flowers

Day 6 at Wisley is well underway, the sun is shining the sales area filled up and there are so many lovely plant stalls 🌱🇬🇧

May your weekend be as happy as these hares at RHS Wisley 🌱🇬🇧 #gardening

The national dahlia show is also on at the minute, alongside the flower show at Wisley. The Cafe au Lait in our garden are still looking gorgeous 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #bloomscrolling #dahlias

A little mint moth on the Ginger Mint - well why not match those pretty wings to the variegation on a leaf? 🌱🇬🇧 Always the last mint to emerge after winter on the nursery, it has those lovely golden splashes on its leaves 💛💚 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

It was a perfect 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 for us today after judging at the RHS Wisley Flower Show. Five more days to go and the herbs are looking fantastic - with around 150 different varieties to choose from 🌱🇬🇧

The sun is out, the herbs are here, come and find us on stand 36 at the RHS Wisley Flower Show 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling #peatfree

The RHS Garden Wisley Flower Show starts Tue until Sun 7th Sept. So come along & see us there if you’re looking for fresh, peat free herb plants. We’re ready for set up tmrw, the herbs are looking fab and we’ll be delivering more herbs into their garden centre too 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

Clearing up, cutting back, weeding and refilling the tunnels happens at this time of year. These are the six bays of the multispan that houses some of our 1 litre herbs 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers

A beautiful double rainbow across the nursery finished off a day of heavy downpours 🌱🇬🇧

We’re potting up and filling up… 🌱🇬🇧 Prepping for 2026 sales 🪴

Fennel flowers 💛 The herb and leaf form of Fennel gives a wonderful flavour to so many dishes. Not to be confused with the bulb form, this will die off during the coldest months before reappearing and then growing to around 6ft again in the Spring 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

Tomorrow Sam will be in Odiham with the herbs - it’s their bank holiday food festival and a great way to spend the day - lots of food, drinks, sunshine 🌱

The Germander flowers are absolutely covered with bees at the minute, I try to capture them but always end up focusing on one 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #pollinators #bloomscrolling

Your sales assistant for the day 🌱🇬🇧

We're back on Kew green tomorrow for the Summer Show, with so many herbs that we had to make up a seventh trolley! That means we'll have around 140 varieties with us 🌱🇬🇧

Like father like son... Neil and Sam, cutting back in the polytunnels - to allow some of the herbs to flush out and grow on again 🌱🇬🇧 #peatfree #herbs #flowers

'Charm of Goldfinches' by Kerry Buck, contemporary UK printmaker #womensart #latesummer

Gorgeous tree fern in the garden - one of my favourites that's done especially well this year 🌱🇬🇧 #treefern #gardening

Just a few of the herby flowers from the garden. Pot Marigolds 🧡 Bergamot ♥️ Thyme 🩷 Compact Hyssop 💙 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

Gremolata, easily made from flat leaved parsley, lemon zest, garlic and rock salt - especially at this time of year when it's in abundance 🌱🇬🇧 Such a lovely Italian condiment that can be sprinkled on lots of dishes #herbs #peatfree #gremolata

The beautiful Palmengarten in Frankfurt, where we spent a lovely day in the sunshine 🇩🇪🌱

Meanwhile, back on the nursery the polytunnels continue to be cleared. These are some of the newly potted up Rosemary plants, they'll over winter here and be ready for spring sales 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #rosemary #allotment #flowers

Fresh herbs at the indoor market, Frankfurt 🌱🇩🇪 #gardening #herbs

When everything grows right 🌱🇬🇧

And another one 🌱🇬🇧 Cafe au Lait #dahlia #flowers #bloomscrolling

It's definitely dahlia time in the garden with my favourite, Cafe au Lait in full bloom 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #herbs #bloomscrolling

Cherry tomatoes and coriander made a very tasty salsa last night 🌱🇬🇧

All set up in Chiswick for the flower market 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

We're all ready for the Chiswick flower market tomorrow. If you're in the area we'll be there from 9 until 4 with seven trolleys full of different herbs to choose from 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #herbs #bloomscrolling #peatfree

When the sales slow down we start clearing, weeding, tidying the tunnels and slowly filling them with the last batches of 9cm potting for Spring 2026 sales 👌🏻 🌱🇬🇧 #peatfree #herbs #flowers

Good night Basil. You're still looking good 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers

Early evening dog walk, into and around Chawton, the home of Jane Austen and her brother whose house is peeping through the trees. #JaneAusten #SouthDowns #Chawton

On grey mornings like today this beautiful rose (Meteor, rose of the year 2024) from @rosesuk.bsky.social really brightens up a dark spot in the garden 🌱🇬🇧 #roses #flowers #bloomscrolling

I wish I could capture how many bees are all over the Germander at the minute - it's such a fantastic plant for pollinators and the low hedge around the nursery herb garden is covered in hundreds of them 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling #pollinators

When your garden becomes a backdrop to your life, a great big, ever changing picture on the wall 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #bloomscrolling #herbs

Lemon verbena flowers - not often seen and rather underwhelming, but lovely to see at this time of year when the shrub is so lush and flowering. For all things 🍋 whether food, drinks, sweet or savoury 🌱🇬🇧 it's the best lemony flavour and fragrance out there 🙌🏻🪴 #herbs #flowers #lemonverbena

Beautiful Peach Melba, rose of the year 2023, from @rosesuk.bsky.social is starting to climb nicely along the verandah roof and covered in flowers. #roses #bloomscrolling #flowers 🌱🇬🇧

July in the nursery's herb garden ❤️ Bergamot in full flower 💙 Rock Hyssop to the right, starting to flower 💜 African Blue Basil just behind All attracting the pollinators and looking absolutely beautiful 🐝 #herbs #flowers #bloomscrolling

When the prop trays aren't needed, aren't potted up and just keep on growing... 🌱🇬🇧 #flowers #herbs
