Wanted please different varieties of mint seeds for school garden project.

[jackyspratty]

Hello all
As you know we are starting to garden at my sons primary school, 3 sessions a week with different age groups.
Im wondering if anyone has different varieties of mint seeds for the project? Really doesnt need to be a lot, just a few seeds of different types..... especially chocolate!!!!

We are starting off in pots due to lackof available land/space to put raised beds, and mint seems popular with the kids but I only have bog standard garden mint and they would like to try different flavours!

Many thanks
Donanx

Mint is much more reliable from cuttings (I have choc mint and black peppermint)

Hi Donna

ive got some spearmint & another one which I cant remember now its just coming back to life after i left it out all winter, i'll take some cuttings in a couple of weeks and drop them off if you want...my mate at lottie grows lots of different ones so I'll cadge some from her too

Thanks guys thats really appreciated. We want to show the kids that just becuae its mint it doesnt mean it tastes the same! Hopefully we will try to do this with other varieties of fruit and veg!

There is a method in mine madness! Plus need a failsafe herb!

Hi have you ever been to Reighton Nurseries near Filey/Brid, only they have a very wide selection of mint and other herbs masses of varieties of Thyme etc and they are very cheap. Some plants are 30-50p and if it grows at Reighton it grows anywhere . They are a very friendly family business and would be worth giving a ring they might be able to help you out with other stuff. Keep up the good work.

I'm lucky enough to live a few miles away. I'll never forget the first time I went, we filled the boot of the car for the price of 3 plants from Bridgemere where we used to live!
