HERB GARDENS

Before you start, determine the available space and the time you have to tend your garden. You can prepare a traditional garden bed using rectangular or circular designs or plant your herbs in pots or containers. Or a combination of the two! Kitchen herbs, fragrance herbs, healing herbs -- whatever aspect of herb growing interests you, have fun with your garden and that is it's real gift to you

Early spring in Paris, France at the Jardin des Plantes. The garden is a great display of medicinal, aromatic and culinary herbs easily viewed from the circular pathways.

The traditional design of this herb garden creates an inviting space. The pathways make it easy to maintain and navigate. The parterre border adds structure.

Another use for the herb garden is to dry the herbs and make wonderful potpourri, wreaths, sachets, scented candles and soap.
