You just need a tad bit of basil for a recipe. You pay $5 for a few sprigs in a wasteful plastic container at the store, and promise yourself you'll use the rest of the herb before it goes bad. Two days later you look in the refrigerator and find wilted, brown basil. Meanwhile, you realized the recipe also called for a pinch of parsley, which you forgot to pick up.
Is this scenario familiar to you?
This common dilemma inspired Megan to start selling fresh herb bouquets to customers upon request. Pick the kinds of culinary herbs you need in whatever amounts you want. The following are typically available: thyme, oregano, rosemary, several varieties of basil, flat leaf Italian parsley, curly leaf parsley, chives, lavender, tarragon, catmint and edible flowers.
