What is our philosophy? We here at Horizon Herbs believe that gardeners can heal the world by growing diversity. It is a well-documented fact that we are living in a time of great loss of species, and it is our understanding that this loss of species is both a cause and an effect of the current ecological downturn. Therefore we propose that everyone engage in species rehabilitation toward a renewed blossoming of diverse gardens on planet earth. It may not be the only answer, but it is one of the best.
It is our mission to provide certified organic seeds and medicinal herb plants directly from our farm to you. Our's is the largest selection of medicinal herb seeds available from the US, an alive, growing collection started way back in 1985 and tended up until--today! We know that its all about quality, and for this reason the vast majority of our seeds are grown by us, hand-picked, wind-winnowed, tested in a practical and rootsy manner, filled with love, in essence loaded with vibrant LIFE. Every year we change out our inventory to give you only newly harvested seeds.
As a way of fueling the rising up of a green, self-sufficient and non-violent revolution, lets grow the seeds of our children's future in our gardens NOW and teach by example. Please join us, beautiful people, in planting diverse open-pollinated and organic seeds. Richo Cech, founder
A note about using this website: If you don't know what you want, use the purple bar (above) to bring up lists of seeds, plants or books. If you have a feel for what you like (eg. "Echinacea" or "Sage" or "Shade" or "Africa" or "China") then use the onsite search engine which is located just above the purple bar, to the left, and has the word "search" in it. This is an incredibly efficient feature for sorting through the many hundreds of plants and seeds available herein. I (Richo) use it exclusively when navigating this site. After you get results, remember to scroll down. The pictures can take up alot of room, and even a simple search such as "Drought Tolerant" or "Full Sun" or "Does Well in Pots" can produce more than a page of results.

Our advice is sought-after by academics, government (yes, even FDA), manufacturers, farmers, home gardeners and hobbyists, and as long as it doesn't get too involved, our advice is free. This is a big offering and we do it for you. We keep it positive! May your plants thrive, may you have homegrown food and medicine, may you grow through growing, and may you receive through giving!
More on who we are: We are growers of organically certified medicinal herb seed and plants here in Southern Oregon. That right there is the main difference. We grow what we sell. And, we don't make our living from selling plastic doo-dads. We like things that are ALIVE! We are the seed company that we wanted to find back in the early 70's and 80's when we first seriously engaged learning the alchemy of seeds. Its been a long road and we want you to benefit from our work! We offer an extensive collection of organically certified seeds from the new harvest and plants grown on our own farm, including indigenous herb seeds from the African, Native American, Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions. We also grow or collect seed of significant medicinal and aromatic herbs from the deserts, forests, mountains, plains and shores of North America, Central and South America, Russia, China, Tibet, India, Pakistan, the Middle East, Japan, Europe, the Mediterranean basin, East Africa (especially Zanzibar), Australia, the Canary Islands, New Zealand and beyond. From our rootsy and organic greenhouse and shadehouses, we offer plants of annuals, herbaceous perennials and woody perennials, common medicinals, cover crops, nitrogen fixers, shelterbelt and wildlife favorites, dye plants, medicinal trees, fruits, tubers, vines, roots, corms, bulbs, and water plants as well as sacred herbs. In the words of the Dalai Lama, "Diversity is both beautiful and necessary."

Customer comment on Hoedown: This basic vegetable collection is brilliant--nearly everything I would ordinarily plant--and at a fabulous price. The simple, homey, intuitive planting guide you wrote for it is perfect. And vacuum-sealing it so I can keep it in my fridge and it's right there next spring whenever I need it--I can't miss early planting because I don't have time to shop for seeds! I am always delighted with Horizon Herbs! Thanks.
SEASONAL UPDATES:
January 2009: Most of our plants are deeply dormant right now, and we have discontinued shipping plants and live roots, with the possible exception of certain plants that can still ship to the Western States of California, Oregon and Washington. We'll let you know when you order. All other plant orders but will be shipped starting APRIL 1, 2009, and dormant forest roots will ship starting in September 2009.
Richo just returned from a fascinating trip to the spice islands of ZANZIBAR and brought back seeds for over 70 rare, choice, previously unlisted medicinals and spices. The seeds will begin to show themselves on this website as soon as germination tests are completed. He also brought back a delightfully aromatic shipment of bulk dried spices, including black peppers, turmeric, cloves, cardamon, ginger, true cinnamon bark and fermented vanilla pods. All these completely fresh spices are now available in 50 gram packets (the vanilla alone is in 20 g packets, and its a really good deal) by typing the word "PEMBASPICE" in the on-site search engine, above. The spices are not certified organic, but are grown by indigenous people on the island of PEMBA, who use entirely organic techniques in a mixed crop system. Many of the photos show the spices growing in-situ on their luscious farm. It's worth a click!

COIR! (Short fiber coconut based potting soil/mulch ingredient, OMRI (organic ingredient) certified and very useful for gardening and nursery work. We're well-stocked on coir, both large (11 lb) and small (1.5 lb) blocks. You can see the entire selection by putting the words "COIR BLOCK" in the search engine, above.
Customer Comment: "I killed my last comfrey! Can you tell me what to do to grow comfrey in the desert?" Answer: "Well, maybe your comfreys are drying out. That actually would kill them (drying out is one of the few known ways to kill a comfrey). We suggest you get some COIR and work that in around your (assumedly new) transplants. This will help hold the water around the roots and give them a chance to do their usual thing--grow like crazy!"
