Thymus vulgaris
Ayelet Thyme is a hardy evergreen perennial growing to around 30 cm tall, prized for its fine flavour and aromatic foliage. An essential culinary herb, the small leaves are widely used to season meats, fish, soups, stews and vegetables, and can also be infused into vinegars and oils. In the garden, thyme attracts bees and other beneficial pollinators while helping to deter cabbage moths when planted amongst brassicas. Traditionally, thyme tea has also been used as a natural garden spray to help discourage powdery mildew.

Thymus serpyllum
Wild Thyme, also known as Creeping Thyme, is a low-growing perennial herb that forms dense mats of aromatic foliage covered in masses of tiny pink to purple flowers. Highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, it creates a colourful carpet through the warmer months and is well suited to borders, rockeries, pathways and between stepping stones where its fragrance is released when brushed or walked upon.
Native to Europe and parts of Asia, Wild Thyme has been valued for centuries as both a culinary and medicinal herb. While milder in flavour than Common Thyme, its leaves can be used fresh or dried to season a variety of dishes. Traditionally, thyme has been prepared as a tea and used to soothe sore throats, coughs and winter ailments, often combined with honey.
Tough and adaptable, Wild Thyme thrives in sunny positions and well-drained soils, tolerating drought once established. It can also cope with light shade, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of garden settings. Its spreading habit helps suppress weeds while providing year-round groundcover and habitat for pollinators.
Easy to grow and highly ornamental, Wild Thyme is a valuable addition to herb gardens, edible landscapes and pollinator-friendly plantings.

Layia platyglossa
Tidy Tips is a cheerful annual wildflower producing bright golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers characteristically tipped in crisp white. Native to California, where it grows naturally through dry coastal habitats, meadows and grasslands, the distinctive two-toned blooms create a wonderfully fresh display through spring.
A member of the Asteraceae family, Tidy Tips is excellent for wildflower gardens, cottage plantings, borders and mass sowing. The open flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects and combine beautifully with other annual wildflowers for a naturalistic meadow effect.
Easy to grow and well adapted to relatively dry conditions, plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil. Avoid overly rich soil or excessive fertiliser, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

Physalis philadelphica
Toma Verde is a classic green tomatillo producing firm, golf-ball-sized fruits enclosed in distinctive papery husks. The flavour is bright, fresh and pleasantly tangy, with the characteristic sharpness that makes tomatillos essential to salsa verde and many traditional Mexican sauces, soups and stews.
Native to Mexico and Central America, tomatillos have been cultivated since pre-Columbian times and were an important food crop of the Aztecs. Despite their resemblance to green tomatoes, they belong to the Physalis genus and are more closely related to cape gooseberries.
Plants are vigorous, spreading low and wide and can reach around 2 m across. Fruit is ready when it has filled the husk, which often begins to split, and may remain green when fully ripe. A short-lived perennial in warm, frost-free climates, it is generally grown as an annual elsewhere.
Seed count: approximately 1,200 seeds per gram.
Approximately 60 seeds per packet.

Solanum lycopersicum
Arcadia is a compact determinate tomato producing medium-sized, red, slightly flattened fruits approximately 5–7 cm across. The tomatoes have good flavour, firm skin and excellent keeping qualities, combining eating quality with the durability needed for handling and transport.
Selected for commercial fresh-market growers in northern Victoria, Arcadia was developed for vine ripening in full sun while retaining firmness after harvest. Plants form compact bushes to approximately 50 cm high, making them useful where space is limited as well as for larger plantings.
Tomatoes originated in the Andes of western South America and were later domesticated and cultivated in Central America before spreading around the world. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and contain carotenoids including lycopene. Tomatoes prefer an open, sunny position and fertile soil with good drainage and plenty of organic matter.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.
Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
