The Big Bee Buffet Collection
What do you get?
A specially selected collection of nine varieties of herbs that the bees will absolutely love visiting throughout the growing season!
Bees are some of the hardest-working creatures in our gardens and play an essential role in pollinating many of the flowers, fruits and vegetables that we all enjoy. Unfortunately, modern gardens and urban spaces often provide fewer nectar-rich flowers than they once did, making it increasingly important to grow plants that support these amazing pollinators.
The good news is that many herbs are packed with nectar and produce masses of flowers that bees simply can't resist. Not only will this collection help provide an important food source for local pollinators, but you'll also enjoy a beautiful display of fragrant herbs that are perfect for cooking, filling your garden with scent and bringing your growing space to life.
The herbs that the bees are going to be enjoying:
Golden Thyme – this stunning evergreen thyme lights up the garden with its vibrant golden foliage before producing delicate flowers that become a favourite stopping point for hardworking bees throughout summer.
Rose Thyme – one of the prettiest thyme varieties you can grow, with attractive foliage and masses of beautiful pink flowers that are rich in nectar. A wonderful choice for both pollinators and your herb garden.
Rosemary – a true herb garden classic that produces beautiful blue flowers over a long season. Bees adore rosemary blooms, while you'll love having fresh sprigs on hand for roasting, barbecues and everyday cooking.
Variegated Lemon Thyme – this eye-catching thyme combines beautiful cream and green foliage with a refreshing lemon fragrance. Its delicate flowers are a valuable nectar source and are visited regularly by bees during the warmer months.
Trailing Rosemary – a graceful cascading rosemary that looks fantastic spilling over containers and raised beds. Its aromatic blue flowers are highly attractive to bees while the foliage is perfect for adding fresh flavour to your favourite dishes.
Thyme 'Silver Posie' – one of the most elegant thyme varieties, featuring attractive silver-edged foliage and pretty blooms that bees simply can't resist. A beautiful addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
Lavender 'Pinnata' – an extraordinary lavender with dramatic silver foliage and tall purple flower spikes that provide a rich source of nectar for bees and butterflies all summer long. It's every bit as striking as it is beneficial.
Lavender 'Vienco Early White' – producing elegant white flower spikes earlier than many other lavenders, this beautiful variety gives pollinators an early feast while adding a touch of sophistication to borders, pots and herb gardens.
Chives – one of the very best edible plants for pollinators, producing cheerful purple flower heads that buzz with bees throughout the season. The flowers are edible too, making this herb as useful in the kitchen as it is in the garden.

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.
