If you are ready to
start your own herb garden, make a
windowsill planter or even make your own
herbal tinctures, we can't think of a
better supplier of live plants and herbs
than
Richters.
Based out of Toronto (a very green place
we might add), Richters has been in
business since 1969. They have one of
the largest supplies of herbs, seeds and
herbal fluid extracts of any herb grower
we have seen. Furthermore, Richters
publishes their comprehensive catalogue
on their website. Search through an
alphabetized listing of hundreds of
plants and herbs (probably the largest
catalogue online), most of which are
available as dried herbs, seeds, live
plants and fluid extracts.
Considering the large scale of business
that Richters does (in many ways they
are like a wholesale club), the prices
for live herbs are very affordable.
Common varieties of single herb plants
sell for under $2, herb plug twelve
packs sell for $12 (that's just $1 per
herb), and full herb trays (120 plants)
sell for as little as $45, which amounts
to about $0.38 per herb. 50 mL Fluid
herbal extracts, which are stronger than
regular tinctures, sell for only $10. As
you might expect with all the growing
going on at Richters, they are well
suited to harvest and dry their own
herbs. Everything from Kava Kava root to
French Tarragon can be purchased in
packages as little as 25 grams and up to
1,000 grams.

Heirloom
Organics
is
a one-of-a-kind online shop
specializing in non-hybrid

carry live herb plants, per say,
Heirloom Organics quality
organic seeds are just one step
away from helping you grow the
purest, organic live herb plants
ever to sprout from your garden
or planter. Heirloom's "Kitchen
Herb Pack" costs just $39, and
contains ten different
non-hybrid, organic culinary
herb seeds, including large leaf
Basil, Dill, Florence Fennel,
Sage, Cilantro, Thyme, Oregano
and more. Heirloom also carries
a Medicinal Herb pack, which
includes organic herb seeds of
Echinacea, Feverfew, Lavender,
Mullein, Valerian, Nettle and
Fennel. If you don't want to
take the chance of having your
live herbs shipped, or simply
don't know when you will be able
to transplant your live herb
plants to the garden, going with
Heirloom's herb seeds is a wise
choice. Even if you're not ready
to purchase herb seeds, a visit
to Heirloom Organic's website is
well worth the time. Their
organic gardening guide is one
of the most helpful and
comprehensive we've come across.

offers a good selection of organic herbs
at outstanding prices. These include
Basil, Dill, Chives, Catnip, Cilantro,
Sage, Peppermint, Parsley, Greek Oregano
and Thyme. All of Nature Hills live
plant herbs come in 4 inch pots and are
ready to be planted in a garden or
boosted to a large planter or windowsill
box. They cost just $11.95 each and can
be shipped anywhere in the continental
United States (except Alaska) for $4.95,
with orders of $50 or more receiving
free shipping. Nature Hills guarantees
that every herb plant shipped is of the
finest quality and will arrive in
top-top shape. If there is any damage to
the plant or container, contact Nature

package for a claim refund/exchange.
Nature Hills also guarantees the life of
your herb plant for 1 year from the date
of purchase. If your plant loses the
ghost in a year's time (but we know it
won't 'cause you have a super green
thumb), but if it does, simply email or
write Nature Hills with a description of
events that led to your little herb's
demise, and Nature Hills will send you a
new one for half the cost. Considering
the quality of these organic live herbs,
you would be hard pressed to get a
better guarantee at your local nursery.
