- Here is my go-to-method to freezing fresh herbs. These keep well for a few months in the freezer and are a great alternative to drying herbs. Let me know if you try this method out at home!
Hey there!
Welcome to my channel, The Nature Patch where I like to share all things gardening, cooking and environmental science in my Australian bushland backyard.
My name is Robyn, an environmental scientist working towards completing a PhD in understanding how people's wellbeing and their connection to nature is impacted by land use change. I've always loved gardening and nature and lately have been interested in growing my own organic food!
On this channel you'll find videos relating to garden tours, 'how to' videos, composting, soil health, ecosystem services, and seed saving.
I try to upload twice a week and I hope you enjoy!!

My big ginger cat was enthralled and kept tapping the screen.😻
Never grew parsley before, but it grew very well! I have quite a bit to preserve for winter soups and stews. I am in Colorado, USA. Thanks for the great video!
Very helpful video. I feel so sad over all the parsley and cilantro I let rot in my fridge when I could have just froze them! Wow. I will be freezing from now on! Great way to save money.
This would work well with mint, spinach, celery tops, basil, greens, garlic, oregano, and I keep thinking of other to do this with. Love the ease of using the cling wrap - and the tiny space it will use in my freezer. I've used the tray method for freezing garlic, ginger, lemon grass, and several other greens - love the usefulness of popping a cube into whatever soup or sauce I'm making.
This is a fantastic idea to use ice cube trays to preserve seasonings! I've used dried parsley for years. Yesterday, I harvested my first homegrown parsley. It smells so good. I didn't know how to preserve it. Now I know! I will grow more herbs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I'm a new container gardener in Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA. I love it!!! 😊🥰
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks a million for the tips! I' ve been doing the same with mint and ginger but never tried doing so with parsley! Using the cubes in antioxidant pineapple-cantaloupe smoothies gives me a quick but effective detox. God bless you! All my love, Irene, Greece.
Hi and thank you, USA.
Great methods for freezing parsley and other herbs. Greatly appreciated 😊❤
Wow that was a great idea rolling up the parsley in cling wrap...I’ll be doing that for sure this season.Thanks Robyn for the excellent tutorial!
It's such a great way to store them :) Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for these easy tips!
Take care and stay safe,
Rob
Parsley along with cilantro is an excellent way to detox the body of toxic heavy metals....
“ organic Cilantro and Parsley bind to heavy metal toxins and pull them out of the body”
I had the same issue drying my parsley...so I now dry it in a dehydrator.
Thanks for sharing these tips! Will do this with my herbs too
Thank you, your video was very thorough and to the point I appreciate the before and afters of each method that you introduced thank you again
Thanks! I will try this since I have lots of parsley in my garden and winter is coming. BTW you have such a nice voice. It’s a pleasure to listen to you!
These were the best ways to preserve parsley that I've seen. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you from Greece! Take care, 🙏
Brilliant, will try both methods.
Fantastic video, thank you ❤
Fabulous. Thank you for sharing. I'm really new at gardening and preserving anything. Well done!
Thanks, I have tons of parsley and this seems like an easy way to preserve it!
Thank you for your tips! I have a TONE of self seeded parsley that I want to preserve before summer. I'll be freezing it in iced cubes so it's super easy to use. Loved your video too, really fun and informative :)
Great video and to the point! I'm preserving my parsley using the cube method.
That was a very helpful video! I have a lot of parsley here in western Canada so I am going to use your ice cube method right away. Thank you!
Great ideas!!
Awesome tips. The ice trays is a great idea, never ever seen that. Thanks and see you later.
This is a great idea!! We grew SO much parsley last season and froze a lot in those bags from Aldi...still using some now haha
I need to get a parsely plant going. Our cilantro grows all winter so I bet parsley would too. So good in food dishes!
Ooh yes, they're such hardy plants! Love them :D Thanks for watching Dani!
I just harvest my last flat parsley in my garden that is the reason why I get into your video because I don’t know how to preserve it for winter use so your video will help. Thank you for sharing.
Great video thanks
Such a great video, I'm new to your channel and I'm really loving the videos!
Thank you Robin love the top tips
You're welcome, thank you for watching :)
Thank you. I have a mini hand processor by OXO! Kim
Thank You! This is really helpful and quick! We are suppose to get some frost, so I need to get it out of the garden. From Alberta Canada.
Nice video will try it out! We have an excess of parsley growing! Thanks.
Thank you!
Love parsley. Love you too.🥰👍
Thanks for posting, definitely doing this. I have to you give you a friendly jab😂, "don't like using plastic" *proceeds to pack into plastic molds*.
The idea is single use vs reusable. She doesn't like using cling film because you use it once and throw it away. Whereas you can use ice cube molds for years
Thanks for the reminder, my husband keeps asking me to plant parsley and I keep forgetting. Going to do it today!
Thank you.
very clever the ice cube. ill use that.in Spain we use it with garlick as base for a load of meals,
I am only too happy to 'like' your video as it answered how to freeze parsley. Good luck with your move and cheers from Calgary!
Thank you for watching! Glad it helped ☺️

Thank you
Thank you for the video. So appreciate you being aware of the plastic problem💖 where can you get reusable plastic?
Hi Robyn, I am a herb fanatic and am always saving/preserving them. But I'm also lucky because my Parsley grows feral here and I seem to have it all year round. Hope you are going well xx Cathi xx
Hi Cathi, me too! Growing fresh herbs is so great! That's awesome! Ours struggles a bit in summer but loves the 'cooler' weather. Take care xx
Food dehydrator works very well for all herbs.
Good reminder, i need to get some beeswax wraps. I've been meaning to for a while to avoid the plastic wrap but who has time
Yeah it's so convenient to use the plastic wrap - but definitely going to invest in more beeswax wraps - love using them!
thanks for sharing do I have to dry first before wrapping it on the cling wrsp
Holly parsley !!! What are you feeding that thing! It's beautiful ❤️
Do you wash it before freezing and dry it
G'day Robyn, great idea of freezing the parsley. What about bees wax wrap would you be able to use them instead of cling wrap? I've mostly used parsley fresh but I have dried it and used it that way also. Have a great week, stay safe and God bless you guys. 🦘👍
That's a great idea Josh - I have a few of them around so next time I'll use them :) wasn't sure how they'd go in the freezer but I'm sure it would be fine. Have a great week too!

We live in Massachusetts. Could I successfully take my herb plants inside for the winter?
I’m in Southern California and I always let them die back after they flower in the second year. Have I been letting it die without cause?
The stalks are great in egg salad.
Could you put it in parchment paper first, then in cling wrap
How long does it last in the freezer
How long does parsley last in the freezer?
I tried to see what will happen by wrapping in wax paper then plastic ...also the ice cube trays are plastic
But we can't use it for salads once frozen?
Would you please tell us how it grew like this? What did you do ?
My parsley grew bigger than Robin’s this year for the first time! I mixed compost in with my potting soil. It made all the difference!!
Do you wash before freezing
I thought the stems of parsley were tooo bitter for eating
Parsley🛡️🌐♀️🌞
Your sooo sweet and Lovely.. kisses muahhhh
Great, but this could have been told in about 30 seconds
Very true! There are loads of great videos and articles out there that summarise the information quickly. Not the vibe on this channel though :)
Did someone force you to watch this?? I bet you complain about every little thing in life 😂
