If you've not already got a selection of thyme plants in your garden then you are really missing out. These pretty, fragrant herbs are incredibly versatile working in a range of both sweet and savoury dishes. Whilst in the garden, they add architectural interest, food for bees and a great palette of colours. 

This fantastic variety of creeping lemon thyme is low growing and provides attractive, delicious and highly fragrant ground cover. It's sweet, earthy scent is one that will bring you joy every time you walk past it, let alone when you gather a harvest for use in a hearty meal. We love adding lemon thyme to soups and stews fresh, as well as dehydrating the leaves to store for later. It is also fantastic when used to season meat or fish dishes.
