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 plants your garden visitors will love:
Garlic Chives – Elegant white star-shaped flowers are a magnet for bees, while the mild garlic-flavoured leaves are perfect for salads, stir-fries and omelettes.
Thyme 'Caborn Wine & Roses' – A stunning ornamental thyme producing masses of rich pink flowers that are highly attractive to pollinating insects, above wonderfully aromatic foliage.
Rosemary – One of the earliest herbs to flower, providing an invaluable source of nectar for bees while also offering fragrant sprigs for countless culinary dishes.
Silver Posie Thyme – A beautiful variegated thyme with silver-edged foliage and delicate flowers that attract bees while adding year-round colour to the garden.
Thyme 'Tabor' – A compact, aromatic thyme covered in nectar-rich flowers that pollinators adore, making it ideal for containers, borders and herb gardens.
Archer's Gold – Striking golden foliage provides year-round interest, while its aromatic leaves and delicate flowers contribute to a vibrant, pollinator-friendly planting scheme.
Lavender 'Grosso' – Renowned for its long flower spikes and intense fragrance, this spectacular lavender is one of the finest plants for attracting bees throughout the summer.
Hyssop Blue – Produces tall spires of rich blue flowers that are irresistible to bees and butterflies, adding height, colour and structure to herb borders.
Lavender 'Munstead' – A classic English lavender producing beautifully scented purple flowers that are loved by pollinators and perfect for cutting, drying and enjoying in the garden.
Whether you're hoping to encourage more wildlife into your garden or simply enjoy watching bees busily moving from flower to flower, The Bee Buffet Herb Collection offers the perfect combination of beauty, fragrance and biodiversity. A garden filled with herbs is always a joy—but when it's alive with pollinators, it becomes something truly special.

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.
