How does our garden grow? Very well, thank you. In fact, really well.

What’s planted?

Play d’eau’s garden is planted with mint, basil, thyme and chives. Having fresh herbs makes all the difference, and ‘boat grown’ somehow makes them taste so much better.

As some of you will know Lin used to grow orchids, so in addition to the herbs Lin has kept just one since space is at such a premium on the boat.

Where is Play d’eau’s garden?

Where do we keep them? When moored, the herbs are in the aft cockpit whilst at sea, the whole garden is kept in the sink for protection.

A bonus is when the chives flower. The flowers are so lovely in two ways; their looks and their concentrated taste.

The garden doesn’t attract green fly or other nasties, only comment from passing boaters.
