Herb garden design balances plant needs, human access, and aesthetic vision. Thoughtful layout prevents the "jungle phase" where enthusiasm becomes overwhelm.
Most herbs need 6+ hours sun. Indoors: south window or grow lights. Outdoors: near kitchen door, hose reach, level ground. Containers offer flexibility—move to sun, shelter from storm.
Italian section (basil, oregano, rosemary). Medicinal corner (echinacea, chamomile, calendula). Tea nook (mint, lemon balm, lavender). Culinary workhorse row (parsley, chives, thyme). Themes guide placement and care.
Essential for beds >4 ft wide. Stepping stones, gravel, mulch, pavers. Width for kneeling + reaching. Curves slow movement—encouraging observation. Without paths, center plants suffer neglect.
Herbs grow fast. 10 varieties = weekly maintenance. 30 varieties = part-time job. Start with 5–7 you'll actually use. Expand as systems solidify. Books inspire; reality calibrates.
