Mastering herbs & vegetables (for the four-season home gardener)

Nordic Lavender provides practical advice and easy-to-follow guides on growing and harvesting fresh herbs and garden vegetables year-round.

You learn from articles, tips, and how-to tutorials based on real projects.

Looking for inspiration? Check out the recently created Gardening photo of the week section, where we post four photos from our gardens weekly. 

Gardening in a four-season grow zone, we use different methods and techniques to grow and harvest year-round.

We plant directly in the ground for large parts of the year. But also use raised garden beds, pots, containers, and hydroponic grow systems – and we love winter sowing.

Having a garden with plenty of space is, of course, great. But you can also start your herb and vegetable garden on a balcony or a kitchen countertop.

Here’s to developing your green fingers,
