Memories from 2024
2024 started with planting seeds | Those seeds sprouted! | While the seeds grew we packed hops. | And maybe goofed around | In March we checked our cold stratification | We brought herbal delights to the Governor's Taste of Oregon |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The road show went to Coos Bay to teach cooking with herbs | The nursery opened in April | We hosted a preschool class | And fed them lunch! | Our booth was at the market April to June | Amazing herbs! Such selection! |
Emily's daughter Anika painted faces for Earth Day | We had a very successful Mother's Day Art in the Garden event | Rolfe got the tractor out to mow more field for parking! | Spent time together for Mother's Day after the work was done | The wrap up celebration is always so special. | We put in some new plumbing in the cottage. |
Spring was cold and wet but there were still beautiful colors in the nursery! | We lost a dear friend in May and our hearts were heavy. | We did food for the Food Trail annual meeting at Spindrift Cellars | And catered a bachelorette trip at Leaping Lamb Farm | Every time we cook we feel gratitude toward our friends the herbs | June marked the beginning of Tour and Luncheon Season |
Here's an early season salad | Our wonderful helpers this year were amazing | The menu changes each week and features seasonal flavors | Each wedding has its unique flavor | Weddings started in June too and were lovely! | The garden reaches a pinnacle in July |
We welcomed artist Chris Bentley back for two workshops | A charcuterie board for a wedding | Grew sprouts for sandwiches | Made pretty focaccia | Served lots of bread | Hosted basket planting workshops |
Infused oil for making salves | Made every thing we served absolutely gorgeous | Peach tart | Salads in late July reflect the warmth of summer | One menu featured grilled pineapple, peanutty noodles and kimpira | Emily got to make a very special 50th birthday cake |
And the garden just keep growing! |

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.
