Did you know that we grow catnip? 🌿🐈

This fragrant herb is a member of the mint family and has a magical effect on many cats, turning even the most dignified feline into a rolling, purring, and playful ball of joy. 🤣

While we love growing catnip for its herbal qualities, we have a feeling the cats are our biggest fans! 🐾

Some plants make great neighbours!

Basil and cilantro grow beautifully side by side, sharing similar growing conditions while helping to create a thriving little corner of the garden. Basil's leafy growth can attract pollinators and provide a bit of shade during hot summer days, while cilantro's delicate flowers attract beneficial insects.

The result? A garden bed that's not only productive, but full of life!

4 simple gardening tips that make a big difference season after season!

🌱 Give Plants Space
It can be hard to thin seedlings, but overcrowded plants compete for sunlight, water, and nutrients. Proper spacing also improves airflow and healthier growth.

🌼 Check your Garden Daily
A quick walk through the garden helps you to catch pests, disease, or nutrient deficiencies early.

🌿 Mulch Matters
Adding a layer of mulch around the base of your plants helps to lock in moisture, keep soil cooler, and suppress weeds before they take over.

💧 Water in the Morning
Early morning watering gives plants time to dry throughout the day, helping to prevent fungal diseases while reducing water loss from evaporation.

Don’t be afraid to let your chives bloom. These lovely purple flowers are edible and pretty!

The best way to get flowers, and a good harvest, is to trim the plant down. Do this when the first flower buds are just developing. Trim half for the blossom and leave the rest to harvest.

Your blossoms are ready to sprinkle on salads, add to butter boards, influse in compound butters, and to garnish any of your dishes.
