Jekka McVicar

I have been growing herbs professionally since 1984. I have written 8 books on herbs, my first book ‘Jekka’s Complete Herb Book’ reached one million world wide sales in 2014 and today is still in print. I broadcast regularly on BBC Radio Bristol, BBC radio4 and take part in TV programmes including Love your Weekend and Marcus Wareing's Tales from a kitchen garden.
