Ideally an herb garden must be located near the house and within easy reach of the kitchen for use throughout the year.

Herbs are an invaluable addition to any garden. No garden is complete without a few herbs. Herbs can be described as a plant that can be added to food or used for medicinal and household purposes. A kitchen garden is ideal if you have the space. Herbs can be planted in a separate herb garden, either formal or informal, or among flowering annuals, perennials and vegetables. Many herbs grow well in containers. Herbs can grow in pots or plant several together in a hanging basket.

Formal pottage gardens of the traditional French ornamental kitchen garden are becoming more in demand. A formal design where Designer Gardens Landscaping use an interesting range of materials and include several attractive features, results in a herb garden that is not only productive, but also eye-catching.
