HERBS AT HOME Gardening tips and tricks to help you create the perfect dish

Herbs at home

Three easy herbs you can grow at home.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing which means it’s time to get out those gardening gloves! Not everyone is born with the gift of the green thumb. If you think it is about time to give it a go, why not try growing these three heavenly herbs?

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the best time to get out your trowel and start sowing those seeds is early Spring. Herbs can be grown in the home or outdoors - all they need is sunlight, moisture-retentive soil and regular watering!

TOP TIP

Select pots with drainage holes and pop them on a tray on the window sill.

Our three favourite herbs

Easy to grow, these three herbs will help you create delicious dishes and add a kick to a classic mojito!

SUMPTUOUS SAGE

Strong, bold and dynamic, Sage packs a punch with its full-bodied flavour. A little goes a long way, adding a herbal taste and warmth to dishes!

Sage is one of our favourites despite it often being overlooked! It pairs perfectly with a variety of meat-based dishes (or meatalternatives) as well as Italian dishes such as pasta and gnocchi – yum!

RAVISHING ROSEMARY

The perfect addition to Mediterranean dishes, this evergreen shrub is easy to grow all year round. Use in both savoury and sweet dishes.

We are big fans of this gorgeous recipe Spiced Poached Pears with Blackberries.

MARVELLOUS MINT

Of course, we had to include a herb that makes cocktail hour more flavoursome and fun! Mint is one of the most iconic herbs. Use it in anything from a minty mojito, a classic G&T to dips, pasta, pesto’s and more!
