Where can I find Jamaican Peppermint in the UK?
Posted by JayPoinDexter@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 8 comments
I live in Hampshire UK, and I want to find a Jamaican peppermint plant that I can grow for myself to have a few leaves for tea and so on (like back home). Does anyone have a like to a plant or even a cutting?

Is there any Jamaican reddit subs where you could possibly search or ask for help that your a member of.

I have tried, but my question was removed as it's not directly related to Jamaica. So I'm hoping a UK based one can help me.
I'm not really seeing a Jamaican diaspora sr to join and ask.

Sounds like the best option is that. If you can find a British sub that is for Jamaicans and ask there. Or a London sub where there is a big Jamaican community 🤔

I'll definitely have another look around, but it's not been the most straightforward

Check local community boards or Facebook groups in areas with strong Caribbean ties (like parts of London, Bristol, or Southampton). Many gardeners share cuttings of "back home" plants that have been acclimated to indoor life in the UK.

A good idea, but I don't have a clue where to find these groups in the first place.
