Vegetable & Herb Plants

At Carpenter's garden centre in St Albans, our selection of herb plants is sure to satisfy the keenest herbalist. From February onwards our extensive 9cm pot selection includes all the everyday culinary herbs such as mint, chives, rosemary, sage and thyme as well as the more unusual chamomile, woodruff, and feverfew to name a few. As we progress through the season we offer herbs in larger 1ltr pots which are ‘ready to crop’ so ideal for beginner gardeners or the more impatient.  Multi-buy deals are available when you purchase 3 or more so you can save money when planting out a herb garden. 

Herb plants are easy to grow and can be included in any vegetable or ornamental garden. They grow well in borders, pots and containers.  We have a wide range of herb plants available from March- October, including all the popular culinary herbs such as mint, rosemary, basil, sage and chives as well as the more unusual cosmetic & medicinal varieties such as chamomile, lovage, sorrel and lemon balm.

Most herbs are hardy and come back each year (exceptions being soft herbs like basil, coriander and lemon grass).  Our herb plants are usually available to purchase at discounted prices when you buy 3 or more.
