Chervil Plant
- Rarely (ok, never) found in shops, chervil is like parsley 2:0. Tastier, with a hint of aniseed, and ludicrously easy to grow
- Perfect for livening up salads, soups, omelettes, sauces and any dish requiring fancy 'fine herbs'
- Grow in patio pots in a lightly shaded place or indoors on the kitchen windowsill
- Plant out in spring or summer and harvest young leaves when the plants are about 10cm tall
- Premium herb plants grown on a family run farm in Lancashire and sent to you at the best possible time for planting
- Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint and much greater variety than anything you can buy from a shop
- Tiny white flowers appear amongst the feathery foliage in spring
- Easy to grow and care for - you should see your first crop within 4-5 weeks

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
