A classic culinary basil, grown slowly for strong roots, intense aroma, and repeat harvests.

 

Product Description

Basil is one of the most popular culinary herbs, valued for its fresh, aromatic leaves and essential role in Mediterranean and everyday cooking. It is widely used in pesto, salads, pasta dishes, sauces, and fresh garnishes, where flavour and freshness make a noticeable difference.

 

Our basil plants are grown entirely by us, from propagation through to dispatch, at our own eco-farm. We do not outsource production to third-party nurseries, allowing us to grow basil at a natural pace that prioritises root strength and plant longevity, rather than short shelf life.

 

Grown by hand from seed, these plants are certified organic and raised using sustainable methods. Available as jumbo plug plants for earlier planting or 9 cm pot plants for later planting, basil can be matched to your planting schedule and experience level. Plants are shipped in line with Irish growing conditions, helping them establish successfully once planted.

  • Organic Herb Plants – Grown by Us for Irish Gardens

    Our organic herb plants are grown entirely by us, from seed or cuttings through to dispatch, at our own eco-farm. We do not outsource production to third-party nurseries, allowing us to control how each plant is grown, when it is shipped, and how well it establishes once planted.

    Every herb in this range is grown slowly and naturally to develop strong root systems and lasting vigour, not rushed for appearance or shelf life. Plants are supplied at the right stage for planting on and long-term harvesting, so they grow on successfully in gardens, containers, and windowsills.

    We ship herbs in line with Irish growing conditions, not calendar dates or retail demand. This means plants arrive ready to thrive, whether you choose jumbo plug plants for best value or 9 cm pot plants for quicker results.

    All herbs are certified organic, grown without synthetic chemicals, and selected specifically for reliability in Ireland’s climate. The result is healthier plants, better flavour, and herbs you can harvest again and again.

    Why Our Herbs Are Different

    • Grown entirely by us — not outsourced or resold

    • Full control from propagation to dispatch

    • Strong root systems for long-term success

    • Shipped only when conditions are right

    • Certified organic and sustainably grown

    Choose the Right Plant for You

    • Jumbo plug plants – best value, ideal for growers happy to pot on

    • 9 cm pot plants – more established, ideal for quicker harvesting

    (Shipping times vary by plant size to ensure successful establishment.)

    Grow Once. Harvest Properly.

    When herbs are grown with care from the start, they last longer, taste better, and reward you with repeated harvests. That’s the difference between a plant grown for the shelf and a plant grown for the garden.
