Jekka's Herb Days
We are very excited to announce that we have been propagating a new herb experience series for 2025!
In 2025, we are revamping some of our popular open days into mini HerbFests, called Jekka's Herb Days. These will be specially themed events running throughout the year. Jekka, along with special guests and friends of Jekka's, will cover a range of Herb topics including medicinal, culinary and pollinating Herbs.
In 2021 and 2023, we hosted Jekka's HerbFest, which was a wonderful celebration of Herbs. We appreciate it will be disappointing news for some that we will not be hosting Jekka's HerbFest this year, but our Jekka's Herb Days will share our passion in the growing and use of herbs.
We will be running our open days and herb days alternately throughout the year. As we start a new year, we have decided to focus our first Jekka's Herb Days on the health & well-being properties of herbs.
Jekka’s Medicinal Herb Days will be held on Friday 4th April & Saturday 5th April 2025. Read more about Jekka's Herb Days and save the dates through the link below.

In celebration of Jekka's new book '100 Herbs to Grow', we invited you to share your favourite herb photos and you did!
We were delighted by the number of pictures posted online and emailed to us. Here are just a few of the photos we were sent. Thank you so much for the wonderful response and we hope they give to you as much joy as they have to us.
The team at Jekka's voted for their favourite and we are pleased to announce that the winner is Sally with her beautiful picture of Angelica. Sally will receive a signed copy of Jekka’s new book '100 Herbs to Grow'
In a close second was Kate, with her picture of Borage and she has won a signed copy of 'A Pocketful of Herbs.'
Thank you to everyone who sent us your photos we loved sharing your joy for your garden and herbs.
There is still time to give the gift that keeps on growing this Christmas with Jekka's; from beautifully crafted Jekka’s Gardeners Gift Boxes and Seed Collections to herb-growing kits, such as our new Jekka’s Grow At Home Bees & Pollinators Herb Kit, which is wonderful for supporting the biodiversity in your garden.
Don't forget, order by last thing on Monday 16th December for Christmas delivery but, for those that are local or passing through, we offer collections and pick-ups from the farm, just select this option when you checkout. Last pick-up is on the 19th December.
Give the gift of herbs with one of Jekka's Master Classes. We have a range of master classes next spring from botanical screen printing to an introductory course on bee keeping. All available to book online.
You can also join Jekka's Seed Club online. Jekka's Seed Club is a truly sustainable gift and, throughout the year, you will receive a range of the herb seeds for leaf or flower, that are edible or medicinal and most importantly support the biodiversity of your garden.
Our Digital Gift cards are available all year round, so if you do not know what to give or have missed the last delivery date. Do not fret; our gift cards are the perfect option!
