Herb Garden Question

16 years ago

Good day y'all.

I want to start an herb garden with as many wonderful culinary herbs as I possibly can.

I want to avoid - at all costs, any chance of having any kind of GMO plants. So when I plant from seed I purchase only heirloom seeds. However, since I don't want to start an entire herb garden from seed I am going to go to a nursery or someplace where I can buy plants.

If I go to say Pikes or Home Depot or other place where culinary herb plants can be purchased, what are the chances that I'll be buying GMO plants? Is there any way to tell?

This is very important to me. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

KJ, didn't you ask this one already before?
There is no way to tell a plant is GMO or not. An organic plant is supposed to not be GMO according to organics regulations but honestly, there has been some concern over mass produced organics and if they are being overseen.
Bonnies Plants is what Lowes carries. You can contact Bonnies and ask them. They are a good company.
Another place to go is to Whole Foods, they carry IMFlowers brand herbs, a local company and I know they are non-GMO and organically grown.

I do not think anybody with a sound mind will go through all the trouble to geneticall modify, cilantro, parsley, and any other herb.
Simply, because there is "NO CAUSE" to do that; there is no commercila interest in it and there is no money making oppotunity in doing that.

There are a lot of hybridization in garden vegetable area but that is not GMO.
