Jekka’s Herbetum
The herbetum was created in the grounds of Jekka's Herb Farm in 2013, with the aim to inspire visitors and to ensure that the history, culinary and medicinal usage of herbs are not lost for future generations. It is a unique interactive experience for herb and plant lovers of all ages.
Displaying the largest collection of culinary herbs in the UK, it is not only a wonderful resource for plant identification, but also a gastronomic delight for anyone interested in good food. The Herbetum contains over 300 culinary herbs carefully planted in raised beds, enabling visitors to walk amongst not only British native herbs, but also the more unusual tropical varieties.
