What is Bay Laurel?
Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub native to the Mediterranean region. It is best known for its glossy, dark green leaves, which are harvested and dried as the classic culinary "bay leaf" used in cooking.
How do you harvest and dry bay leaves?
Pick mature, large leaves anytime during spring or summer when the essential oils are strongest. Lay the freshly picked leaves flat on paper towels in a warm, dry area away from direct sunlight for 1 to 2 weeks until thoroughly dried and leathery.
Our planters are made from the highest quality materials, and designed to complement a range of styles.
