About Herboo – a modern gardening brand helping people grow with confidence
To Make a Garden
At Herboo, we believe a garden can begin anywhere. A balcony, a windowsill, a patch of shared soil — it all counts. Our seeds, growing guides and modern grow kits are designed to remove the overwhelm and help you grow with confidence, whatever space you have.
We keep things clear and considered: varieties chosen for UK conditions, simple steps that make sense in real life, and inspiration that feels achievable — not aspirational. Herboo is here to make gardening modern, doable and genuinely enjoyable.
Our Story
Herboo was founded in 2019 by Henry Kimber, shaped by the idea that nature has a place in every home — even the smallest one. Moving between rented flats in London, he wanted gardening to feel simple and within reach.
I started Herboo because I wanted gardening to feel simple, doable and enjoyable — even in temporary or imperfect spaces. You don’t need a big garden or specialist knowledge; just a small place to begin and the confidence to grow something of your own.
Herboo is my way of taking the overwhelm out of getting started. Clear guidance, considered seeds and plant love— all designed so growing feels natural, calm and part of everyday life.
What We Believe In
Gardens for Real Life
Herboo starts with the spaces people actually have – rented flats, balconies, window boxes and shared gardens. We choose seeds that work hard in these conditions, focusing on plants that offer long flowering windows, good performance in containers and reliable results in UK weather.
Thoughtful Seeds
Seed catalogues can be overwhelming. We keep things edited: considered flower seeds, wildflower and pollinator mixes, herbs and veg chosen for flavour, resilience and beauty. Each packet includes clear sowing windows and plain-English steps so you never feel lost at the back of the seed drawer.
Growing with the Seasons
Our planting calendars, grow guides and seed boxes are built around the UK growing season. We help you plan small, realistic projects – a spring pot for pollinators, a summer cut-flower patch, an autumn window box – so gardening becomes a steady rhythm rather than a one-off burst of energy.
