Vegetables and Herbs
If you’ve never grown an edible garden, we urge you to try it. Believe us – there’s nothing quite like the mouthwatering taste of fresh vegetables and fragrant herbs that were grown in your own garden.
What could be more flavorful than spaghetti sauce that you created with ripe tomatoes just plucked off the vine and seasoned with homegrown basil and oregano planted just a few feet from your kitchen?
If you’re new to growing vegetables and herbs, Merrifield Garden Center is a great place to begin. You can browse through our huge selection of these easy-to-grow plants and choose the ones you enjoy the most in your kitchen and home. And we’re always available and eager to help answer all your questions.
Herbs look great in the garden, with the additional benefits of their other uses. Some herbs, such as lavender and bee balm, feature colorful flowers, but most other herbs create interest with their gorgeous, aromatic foliage.
What’s great is that herbs don’t need to be planted in a traditional garden. If you’re an apartment dweller or someone with limited space, these plants thrive in containers.
Growing your own vegetables and herbs will provide you with years of enjoyment and satisfaction as you learn about the diverse selection of available plants, experiment with different recipes and share your results with family and friends. Bon appetit!
