Welcome to my site, I am the founder of The Chef’s Gardener.

I’ve owned an allotment (vegetable garden) for over 20 years but was fed up of using the same ingredients in the same dishes over and over again.

My mission is to help home gardeners grow ingredients that actually get used in the kitchen, whether that’s herbs on a windowsill, vegetables in an allotment, or produce from a hydroponic system.

New products coming soon

I am currently in discussions on possible joint ventures with a number of companies – ranging from rare & speciality seeds to hydroponic kits. And hope to be launching a range of new products soon!

The Amazon Links

In the meantime as an Amazon Associate I earn money from qualifying purchases, as is the case for the other links (like tradedoubler).

It’s exciting times for Chef’s Gardner and I hope you’ll join me on a path to grow great tasting food!
