The Herb Cottage is your source for information about herb growing and gardening, with an emphasis on growing and gardening in the humid south where winters are mild and summers are very hot and humid with the occasional hurricane or drenching rain. As with many parts of the country, the weather seems to have become more extreme, and as gardeners, we have to learn to do our best to cope with the weather. We sure can't change it!!

Unfortunately, I AM NOT OPEN for direct retail sales on a regular basis. So, please, give a call or send an email, and I'll be happy to let you know if I'll be here when you'd like to visit. Please check my schedule because I sell plants and seeds at Farmers' Markets, herb shows and other events, and the nursery is then closed for the day or weekend. Click here for the schedule of closed weekends.

The phone number at the Nursery is: 979-562-2153. My cell number is: 361-258-1192.

The Nursery phone also rings in the house, so please respect us and only call during normal business hours. There is always an answering machine for you to leave a message if I'm not there.

When I'm away from home, my cell phone is on, and you can call 361-258-1192. I'll answer unless I'm with a customer at the Market , in which case I'll call you back as soon as I get a chance. (Isn't technology wonderful?)

Or you can e-mail me to find out when I'll be at The Herb Cottage or a market near you.

If you'd like to come for a visit, I'm easy to find. Just follow the map. Map to The Herb Cottage
