If your herb repertoire is limited to parsley, sage and thyme, allow herb expert Jekka McVicar to expand your horizons. Jekka joins host Jane Perrone to chat about the fascinating history behind our herbs, including British natives such as lovage and angelica, as well as overseas introductions like lemongrass and fennel. Plus Jekka offers up practical tips for incorporating herbs into your garden. You can read the article Jekka and Jane are talking about here.

Jekka McVicar is an award-winning, peat free sustainable herb grower-breeder with 40 years of professional experience. She is also an author of several books and the recipient of the Victoria Medal of Honour by the Royal Horticultural Society. Support Jekka on Scribehound Gardening.
