Herb baskets

Hand-composed gifts from the nursery

We assemble individual herb baskets for kitchens, balconies and housewarmings — selected for scent, use and how plants share a trough.

Order a few days ahead for larger gifts; smaller baskets are often ready same day in peak season.

Growing tips

Keep herbs productive

Sun & drainage

Most Mediterranean herbs need full sun and pots that never sit waterlogged — especially on shaded Graz courtyards.

Harvest often

Pinching tips keeps basil bushy and delays flowering. We show you how before you leave the nursery.

Winter care

Some herbs overwinter outdoors; others prefer a cool bright windowsill. We label hardiness clearly.

Soil life

Our peat-free mixes favour living soil — refresh containers each spring rather than starving roots in old compost.
