Looking for Herbs for my Garden

Hi, I’m Saffron and I’m starting an herb garden!  

I’m wondering if any neighbours may have some perennial herbs to spare?
I’m specifically looking for:

Lavender
Mint
Rosemary
Basil
Chamomile
Lemon balm
Sage
Thyme
Vervain

But I’ll be grateful for any contributions!  

I can be reached most easily by email:

Organic Compost Delivery Update

Thanks to everyone for your interest in compost.

So, it turns out the price won't be much less than last year with fuel cost increases such as they are!

Regular screened is a bit coarser so perfect for top dressing $95/yard
Ultra-fine is better for raised garden beds, veggies and such $100/yard
Bags of either variety are $8/each per 20 L

First delivery will arrive on April 1 and we will schedule consecutive weekly deliveries as the driver is able.
