What do you get?
Over the last decade, Urban Herbs has travelled across the UK exhibiting at food festivals and prestigious events, including the BBC Good Food Show. Along the way, we've met countless passionate chefs, home cooks and food lovers, and these are some of the herb varieties that always generate the most excitement.
Whether you're creating restaurant-quality dishes at home, experimenting with new flavours or simply love cooking with fresh herbs picked straight from the garden, this collection has been carefully selected to inspire your kitchen.
The flavours you'll soon be enjoying:
Garlic Chives – Flat leaves with a wonderfully rich garlic flavour, perfect for stir-fries, salads, omelettes and homemade garlic butter. Beautiful white flowers are also edible and loved by pollinators.
Blackcurrant Sage – A striking sage with aromatic leaves carrying subtle blackcurrant notes. Delicious in drinks, desserts and fruit-based recipes, while adding beautiful colour to the garden.
Vietnamese Coriander – A favourite in Southeast Asian cuisine, offering a fresh, spicy flavour that works brilliantly in noodle dishes, curries, soups and salads.
Alpine Strawberry – Produces masses of intensely sweet, aromatic strawberries over a long season. Ideal for snacking straight from the plant or adding to desserts.
Oregano 'Hot & Spicy' – A robust oregano with an extra punch of spice, making it perfect for pizzas, pasta dishes, grilled vegetables and Mediterranean cooking.
Rosemary – One of the world's most treasured culinary herbs, with fragrant evergreen foliage that pairs beautifully with roast potatoes, lamb, chicken and homemade breads.
Common Thyme – A true kitchen essential. Its earthy, savoury flavour enhances everything from casseroles and stuffing to soups, sauces and roasted vegetables.
Spicy Thyme – A wonderfully aromatic thyme with a warming, peppery character that adds depth to marinades, grilled meats and hearty dishes.
Mushroom Plant – An unusual edible plant whose leaves have a remarkably mushroom-like flavour when cooked, making it a fascinating addition to stir-fries, pasta dishes and omelettes.
Whether you're buying for yourself or searching for a thoughtful gift for a food lover, The Chef's Choice Herb Collection is packed with flavour, fragrance and inspiration—bringing together some of the most exciting edible plants you can grow at home.

How big are the plants?
All herbs are supplied in 9cm pots. They will be freshly picked for your order. The condition of the plants is our primary concern when fulfilling your order. The foliage will differ in size throughout the season and may be clipped prior to dispatch. The herbs are not soft grown and have spent time in unheated conditions. They are a product designed not just to last a few days but to be grown on by yourselves and supply flavour for months to come.
