The International Herb Association’s Herb of the Year for 2024 it is one that is both native to Oregon and close to my heart: Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). With delicate fern-like leaves and white umbel this beauty has an abundance of uses in the garden and the herbalist medicine cabinet. In the garden, yarrow helps build soil, boosting the bioavailability of nutrients and minerals to the plants around it. Its long-blooming flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies. It thrives in well drained soils where its interweaving root system helps stabilize soil and reduce erosion. We have found that with regular mowing you can also add it to your yard as a groundcover.
The fresh leaves of yarrow are used to treat wounds, reduce bleeding, and draw out splinters or infections. Dried yarrow tea is used for treatment of colds, headache and fever. Yarrow was also used as a bittering agent in beer. Spiritually, yarrow is associated with protection and healing.
There is much to love and enjoy about yarrow and I’m grateful for the International Herb Association for giving this somewhat humble native the recognition it deserves.

The Thyme Garden Herb Company is an eclectic, earth friendly family business working with nature to provide all naturally grown herb seeds gardeners throughout the US, along with bulk dried herbs, herb teas, herb seasonings, organic hops rhizomes, herbal honey, herbal cookbook, and much more. For local gardening friends, our nursery offers hundreds of cultivars of hard to find herbs, and we hear all the time that our herb starts are the highest quality available.
We are driven by our passion to add more to the environment than we take. Our beautiful display gardens offer visitors an opportunity to experience over 750 varieties of useful herb plants from all around the world as well as providing a source for our naturally grown herb seeds and herb plants. We not only grow the seeds and plants we sell, we have been cooking with herbs since our restaurant days in the 1980s. To share our experiences we have created a food blog called More Good Thymes in the Kitchen. We also host Weddings, Special Events, and our incredibly popular Tours & Luncheons.
Our top selling items are Creeping Thyme Seed, Corsican Mint Seed and Mixed Creeping Thyme Seed. These varieties of plants make awesome herbal ground covers spilling over rocks or between pavers in walkways. The Creeping Thyme Seed we offer produces the lowest growing Creeping Thyme on the market, creating a tight mat only 1/2" tall or less! Other companies only offer Creeping Thyme Seed for thyme that grows 3 - 6" high, making it way too tall for walkways. Our Mixed Creeping Thyme Seed, harvested from all our lowest growing varieties, gives you a wide range of flower color, fragrance, leaf color and texture. Each packet contains approximately 400 - 500 seeds.
