Surrounded by a wildlife refuge, this funky herb nursery has an inventory of more than 350 varieties of herbs and more than 100 varieties of lavender--all for sale—but, according to owner Mike Hanselman, “not a stick of heather is on the property.” More than 275 herbs are planted in specialty beds at Blue Heron Herbary, including tea, bee, and Shakespeare, and a u-pick lavender field is by the pond. They make their own spice blends and teas, and an exceptional gift shop purveys herb-related gifts, including sleep pillows and fragrant tea pads. Chickens run free.
