Designing an Herb Garden
Most herb garden designs are laid out in geometric shapes. If you prefer a formal look, you may want to edge your garden beds with boxwoods. For a country look, you could plant your herbs in an old wagon wheel, instead.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Herb gardnening doesn't have to be a big outdoor production. In fact, you don't need a garden or yard to grow your own herbs at all. Many varieties are easily grown in containers. Depending on the plant, these can be grown indoors or outside on a deck or patio.
Getting dwarf varieties of different herbs is a way of getting plants already adapted to being a bit smaller. Think about what can be grown in a cascading style and try to hang some plants up to use space more efficiently.
