Medicinal Plants & Herbs
Started from organic seed on our farm.
Our nursery opens in spring of 2024
We're always starting something here at St Fiacre's Garden. At any time of year, we've got seedlings popping up in the greenhouse.
When the active growing season kicks off, we will be offering medicinal plants like Comfrey and Echinacea in gallon size pots. Most other medicinals herbs will be
available in 2.5-3.25 inch pots.

When will plants be available?
Plants that are not frost-sensitive should be available the beginning of April. Annual herbs, flowers, and vegetable seedlings will be offered after our last
frost date. We've been suprised a few years now by a late deep dive in temperature, so we generally wait to plant most vegetables until it's closer to May 1. Fortunately, we do have a wonderfully
long growing season here in South Carolina! Greenville, SC is officially growing zone 8A.
2024 will be our fifth season growing medicinal herbs in the gardens. All the herbs we offer for sale have been successfully grown here in Travelers Rest. And many are perennial herbs or reliable self-seeders. Greenville, SC gets pretty warm duing the summer months, so growing some medicinals takes a little tweaking. A little shade here or mulching to keep the roots cool there. We're always happy to share what we are learning.
