A pretty Hobbiton house with herb dryer hanging by the front door

The communal veg plot at Hobbiton clearly utilises companion planting

Herbs growing in the veg plot – lavender and nasturtiums

Another herb in the vegetable plot – lemon verbena

This Hobbit likes salvias

I saw quite a few front doors with an echinacea plant nearby – Hobbits see the importance of boosting their immune systems!

Was this Hobbit responsible for herbal tinctures and decoctions?

Beekeeping not only provides a source of food, but also beneficial pollinators

Hobbits have time for natural crafts such as decorating gourds

Bag End is the most important house in Hobbiton and has a beautiful front garden with echinacea

Fruit growing in front of Sam’s front door

Sam has left his waistcoat outside. He has a bunch of herbs drying by his door.

I commented to my travelling companion that I would prefer a water-front apartment if I were a Hobbit!
