The Thyme Garden is a family owned farm hidden in the magical coast range mountains of Oregon. Visitors will enjoy strolling through our beautiful display gardens which provide the opportunity to experience one of the largest collections of herbs in the Northwest. They could discover our secret reflecting pond hidden in our forest of tall firs and old growth maples. The peaceful sound of water falling is ever present from our two year round streams as one pauses, enfolded by nature. We are proud of our nurserys selection of herbs and useful plants for sale in our hand split cedar lathe house as well as in our greenhouses, which are also open for visitors to enjoy. Our largest greenhouse contains a small conservatory with its own little stream and a huge specimen called Angel’s Trumpet, which may have over 200 ten inch long trumpet shaped flowers at one time! The fragrance from this plant as well as all the other aromatic plants we have collected in this room can be intoxicating. We sometimes call this room the aromatherapy experience.

Our interest in herbs began at our country restaurant which we surrounded with herb gardens. Not only providing our kitchen with herbs and pleasure for our customers, our gardens produced seeds which we began to collect and sell. From these sprouted the Thyme Garden Seed Company. In 1989 we embarked on a new adventure when we sold our restaurant and purchased our 80 acre farm to expand our seed business and start a nursery. Our farm also gave us plenty of space to enjoy one of our favorite hobbies, collecting new and unusual varieties of herbs and displaying them for people to experience and enjoy. The Thyme Garden continues to evolve and grow with our successful Garden Tour and Luncheon experiences. We are now able to host and cater weddings with completion of our large split cedar shelter in the woods for receptions and group gatherings and a cottage with a full kitchen, great room and brides dressing room.

Our plants and seeds are grown organically, free of pesticides, herbicides and commercial fertilizers. We harvest our herbs and seeds by hand in an attempt to provide you with the best product available. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase please let us know and we will be glad to replace the item or send a refund. Thank you for your support.

We give you a free pack of seeds with every order, plus an additional free pack of regular priced seeds of your choice if your order is over $25.00. Collecting and organically growing herb plants and herb seeds from around the world for culinary, medicinal and ethnobotanical uses is our business and our hobby, but more importantly we feel our plants are part of our family and have taken the responsiblity to make sure they are strong and healthy. When a customer orders from our catalog or leaves our nursery with our plants or seeds they are taking home a part of us. Let's go for a walk and sample a few of our beautiful display gardens.

Why buy organically grown seeds and plants? To us it means supporting the state of mind it represents. This means the grower does not believe in poisoning the earth and practices ethical harvesting, recycling, consuming fewer resources and doing everything they can to help our planet survive. Thanks for visiting us. We look forward to hearing from you! Rolfe and Janet
