How to Grow Bay Laurel from SeedI can’t imagine my spice cupboard being devoid of the sweet, floral spice of bay leaves.

Once you see that healthy seedling growing in its permanent home, I have no doubt that you’ll agree it was worth the effort.
Plus, there’s always something to be said for gaining a valuable new gardening skill.
