The herb beds on the Green Field have been provided by Hartford Parish Council to give all residents of Hartford access to fresh herbs, when in season. The beds are maintained by Hartford Parish Council with support from volunteers who have a passion for fresh food.  

The beds contain various herbs, ranging from the traditional mint and horseradish to less familiar herbs which people may like to try, such as sorrel (a lemony alternative to spinach).

The beds are numbered 1 – 5, starting from the Chester Road access to the footpath. Please select the herb bed link below to find out which herbs are planned or growing.

• Herb bed one
• Herb bed two
• Herb bed three
• Herb bed four
• Herb bed five

Please remember the herbs are for everyone so only take what you need. There is no guarantee that a particular herb will be available as it will be on a “first come first served” option. Prior to consuming any herb or plant, please ensure it is safe for you to eat!
