Formal herb gardens find their roots in medieval times, and are a great way to fill your garden with exciting colours and aroma. A comprehensive herb garden can also bring your home cooking to life.
Most herbs thrive in a hot, sunny spot with good air circulation and well drained soil. This increases the levels of aromatic oils which provide strong scents and a great taste.
Cotton Lavender is an attractive Mediterranean plant that attracts lots of bees and hoverflys, and is a great companion to a fruit garden.
A potager is a great way to utilize small spaces, and allows easy crop rotation. They are very formal with neat rectangular beds, either raised or at ground level, with herbs mingling with fruit and veg.
