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

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. :)

Hi! Where can I buy kaffir lime seedlings, galanggal plants in the Philippines? Can these herbs grow in the backyard? If so, how do I plant it? How do I maintain?

In my experience, basil is one of the easiest herb to grow. My only problem is, I really don’t know how to cook :(

I’ve read somewhere that herb plants are also available in farmers market.
