Gardener’s Tip

Sow seeds from March to August in well-drained soil and in a sunny position, as thyme thrives in warmth and plenty of light. This herb prefers lighter soils and benefits from good drainage, especially in wetter climates like Ireland.

Harvest sprigs regularly to encourage fresh new growth and maintain compact plants. Once established, thyme prefers drier conditions and minimal watering, making it an easy and low-maintenance herb for both garden beds and containers.
