EnglishWhat Can You Buy from Jekka's Online Herb Shop?
Updated
Jekka's online herb shop sells herb seeds and seed collections, grow-at-home herb kits, gardener gift boxes, illustrated gifts and homeware, and herbal infusions. It is the retail arm of Jekka's, a family-run UK herb farm near Bristol with more than 40 years of experience growing medicinal and culinary herbs. One important caveat: Jekka's has stepped back from large-scale plant production, so the current focus is on seeds and curated products rather than a full mail-order plant range. If you are looking specifically for live herb plants, check what is available at an open day or plant sale rather than assuming the online shop stocks them.
Product categories in the online shop
The shop is organised around a few clear groups, all described as following the farm's "green, environmentally friendly and sustainable" approach.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Herb seeds | Individual herb seed lines grown and selected by Jekka's |
| Herb seed collections | Curated sets of seeds, useful if you want a themed group rather than single varieties |
| Grow-at-home herb kits | Kits for raising herbs yourself at home |
| Gardener gift boxes | Gift-oriented boxes aimed at gardeners |
| Illustrated gifts and homeware | Non-plant gift items and homeware |
| Herbal infusions | Herbal teas/infusions from the farm's herb range |
The farm works with over 400 culinary and medicinal herbs, and describes itself as home to the largest collection of culinary herbs in the UK. That breadth is the reason the seed and infusion ranges can cover far more than the usual supermarket herbs.
Seeds, kits and gift boxes
If your goal is to grow herbs rather than buy them ready-grown, the seed lines, seed collections and grow-at-home kits are the relevant part of the shop. The distinction matters:
- Single seed lines suit you if you already know which herbs you want and are filling gaps in an existing garden or windowsill.
- Seed collections suit gift-giving or starting from scratch, because the selection decision is already made for you.
- Grow-at-home kits bundle what you need to start, which is the lower-effort option if you don't want to assemble pots, compost and seed separately.
Gardener gift boxes sit alongside these as a present-focused option, so if you are buying for someone else rather than for your own garden, that is the category to look at first.
Gifts, homeware and herbal infusions
Beyond growing, the shop carries illustrated gifts and homeware, and Jekka's herbal infusions. The infusions connect directly to the farm's medicinal and culinary herb work — they are the product for someone who wants to use herbs rather than cultivate them. Gifts and homeware are the non-consumable, non-growing end of the range, useful when you want something tied to the herb theme without committing the recipient to looking after a plant.
What to check before ordering
A few practical points follow from how Jekka's currently operates:
- Don't assume live plants ship. The farm has moved away from large-scale plant production, so the online range centres on seeds, kits, gifts and infusions. For plants, the open days and plant sales are the route.
- Open days are ticketed and limited. The September Open Days (Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September 2026) use limited morning and afternoon e-tickets, with tickets released on 16 August. If you want plants, seeds and books in person plus the farm café, plan around that release date.
- Prices and delivery terms aren't stated in the source material — check the individual product pages in the online shop for current pricing and shipping before you buy.
If you are deciding between buying seeds, a kit or an infusion, the question to ask is whether you want to grow the herb, use it immediately, or give it as a gift — those three intents map onto the three main parts of the shop.
