Could anyone tell me if it's allowed to bring plants, herbs over from England.

Thank you.

there's been a recent discussion of this, the short answer is yes, we are all still in the EU, at least at the moment.

do be aware that Almeria province is an area heavily dependent on agriculture, try not to bring pests with you, nor anything particularly invasive.

also be aware that it is a very challenging environment in which to grow things.it would be a big challenge to keep your UK plants alive here.

Hi according to DEFRA you are allowed 5 plants into the UK without a licence so guess it's probablythe same taking them into spain can you not buy the plants in Spain as they are a lot cheaper and more suitable for the local climate.
