EDSA Garden House – An Herb Land In Quezon City
October 22, 2007 · Filed Under All Entries, Feature
Last October 19, EDSA Garden House opened its doors to the public especially to herb lovers. Too bad we didn’t made it on the first day where plants, regularly priced at 3 for 100 or PhP50 each, were sold for only PhP25. I would have acquired 16 plants. Too bad…
Anyway, I was really not planning of setting up an herb garden. I was just suppose to accompany Jeprocks who plans of giving one as a house warming gift for his client/friend. Thanks to the store’s effective way of informing people on the uses of those plants and after enjoying the smell of the varied mints available, I had a change of mind.
I got for myself the following herbs: lemon grass, malvarosa, cat whiskers, basil, chocolate mint, lemon mint, tarragon, lavender, gotu kola, and another one which I forgot the name manzanilla. Other available herb includes aloe vera, pandan, dill, java mint, peppermint, swiss mint, rosemary, and a whole lot more. I’ll be showing you my herb garden in a later post. I actually have plans of going back to grab more of those mints.
The EDSA Garden House is located at the Manila Seedling Bank (EDSA corner Quezon Ave. in Quezon City) just beneath those gigantic billboards in that area. A free unlimited pandan juice is available for store patrons.

Good news but the place is too far from ours. Btw, i like the new look of your blog. It’s neat and clean. i like the buttons and style.

Those carts actually caught my attention.
I wonder if our Centennial Airport would upgrade those ugly carts, it’s way way too old na talaga but at least I don’t have to pay for the cart anymore.

CHEH,
pwede naman e yung sa akin nga 8 herbs sama sama sa isang pot. nakakatuwa nga kasi mukhang siksikan sila dun.

BENG,
makakatulong ito para ma promote ang paga-alaga ng herbs . nakakawili naman sya plus the fact na useful talaga sila aside sa pagiging mere ornamentals.

Masarap din ang mag lagay ng fresh mint leaves sa Leche Flan, pang variety, instead of Dayap

Do you use wheatgrass or have markets that use wheatgrass.
We have frozen shots available and can send to you.
