Plant description

Infuse your tomato-based dishes with grow-your-own, wonderfully tender and aromatic basil. Give your omelette, potatoes or soups a culinary boost with a sprinkling of home-grown chives or throw in some windowsill parsley to add the finishing touches to soups, casseroles and stews. The set contains three glazed ceramic pots, all of which have been embossed with a country life label, sufficient compost to fill them, and packets of basil, chive and parsley seed. There is also a matching ceramic tray as well as easy to follow growing instructions.

Each gift set includes 3 x ceramic pots measuring 8.5 x 7.5cm, a ceramic tray measuring 25 x 8cm x 2cm, compost, basil, chives and parsley seeds, and full instructions.
