I am trying to find a local source to purchase pandan, either in plant form or dried herb.
Any suggestions?

hi everyone! i also really really like herbs specially mints! I have here peppermint in which i planted from seed.. i tooks blood and sweat for me to grow this from seed, but i think, ive grown a fake peppermint that lacks flavour and aroma.. can i ask if the one that are being sell in manila seedling bank are true peppermint? i also saw true peppermint at camp john hay, baguio. it was planted outside the commercial center.. i really really want to pick a stem for planting, but i just did not do it for good sake. also, have you guys ever heard of spearmint and applemint here in philippines.. pls email me if you know one… thanks..

The Manila Seedling Bank sells plenty of herbs, especially the Green 2000 store. The herbs are already a few inches tall, and they sell it for P100 for 3 pots. They will even give you tips on how to take care of the herbs. They also sell seeds if you prefer to grow them yourselves. There is this one other stall that sells herbs, which are more mature, but for a higher price. But you can always haggle, especially if you buy more than one. I bought rosemary, thyme, marjoram, peppermint, basil, and tarragon all for P200. I also saw kaffir lime, aloe vera, many varieties of basil (sweet, italian, thai, etc), coriander, and lots lots more.

Hope this helps! :)

btw, i agree. Nothing beats fresh herbs. They’re much more fragrant and gives better flavor. :)

DB Roxas, they have dried thyme at S&R stores in bulk (say 250 gram bottles. Also at Favors n Spices in Market!Market! I don’t know the per kilo price. It isn’t cheap.
