We are herb and plant growers who stand by the old adage “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food”. All Rare Herbs was founded on the desire to create a collection of the important medicinal and culinary plants.
Nature provides what we need to live healthy and productive lives. Our online shop offers a comprehensive range of herb plants, seed, products and remedies plus educational resources. Over time we have developed and extensive customer base of herb enthusiasts, health professionals and plant collectors. Together our journey is to share the love and knowledge of herbs, share the plants and cultivate a healthier more sustainable future.
“What attracts me about plants is the curiosity, diversity, and usefulness of the plant world. You can bring plants from remote parts of the world right to your doorstep, from tropical jungles to deserts, wetlands, forests, and mountains, and every plant carries its own adaptations, history, and human uses. I think people become fascinated with plants because they reveal how connected the world really is. Plants are tied to climate, food, medicine, culture, trade, and survival across every part of humanity.”
“What fascinates me about plants is how essential they are to life itself. Plants produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and support entire ecosystems. I also find it fascinating that every single plant is unique. Even within the same variety, no two plants are exactly the same. I think Fascination of Plants Day is about recognising how extraordinary plants really are once you slow down and pay attention to them, not just individually, but as one of the foundations of life on earth.”
“I am fascinated by plants because I see them as witnesses to civilisations, migration, hardship, healing, and tradition. I love the idea that entire worlds of knowledge and culture exist quietly beneath mainstream life, and that plants serve as evidence of that hidden depth. Rare, old, useful plants still retain soul in a world becoming increasingly synthetic and disconnected. To me, plants represent continuity, memory, individuality, beauty, usefulness, and forms of intelligence and life that humans did not invent but continue learning from.”
“Plants fascinate me because they completely change the feeling of a home. Once you put plants into a space, everything suddenly feels fresh, peaceful, and alive. I love healthy green leaves and the vitality plants bring into everyday life. When all the plants are gone, the house feels dull and empty. I think people are fascinated by plants because they reconnect us to life, calmness, and nature in a very simple but powerful way.”
