Do you know Sweet Cicely? Nope, that’s not one of the people who packs your seed orders for you! Otherwise known as Myrrhis odorata, Sweet Cicely is an herb that’s related to carrots, caraway, anise and fennel. It has a sweet, somewhat licorice-y flavor, and the leaves can be used in tea or the making of liqueurs, or added to fruit and vegetable salads. The root, stem and seeds are also edible.

Sweet Cicely seeds need to be cold stratified, which means that they need to spend some time in the cold – either outdoors or in the freezer – before they’ll germinate. Because of that, we ship out Sweet Cicely seeds in the fall instead of in the spring.

Interested in establishing a patch of this sweetheart of a plant? Keep an eye on our website and social media for the annual release of our Sweet Cicely seeds.

Hey gardeners! I want to introduce myself, and my business. My name is Mathew Taylor, and my grandfather – a French chef named Raymond Saufroy – started Le Jardin du Gourmet in the 1960s. He founded it after years of working in the New York City restaurant industry, and struggling to find the produce he wanted to cook. He sold the business to my parents in 1988, and recently, they passed it along to me, my wife Alejandra, and our two boys.

What do we do? For one thing, we sell small packets of non-GMO seeds to gardeners and cooks, with a focus on hard-to-find culinary herbs and vegetables, including shallots, which my grandfather loved.

In spring, we also ship plant starts, and invite locals to swing by our greenhouses to meet us and buy plants in person. Whether or not you live in the area, check out our online catalog (the web address is in our bio).

To learn a little more about the story of the business, check out this Seven Days article.
