Herbs

No garden should be without herbs - they are essential to producing good tasty meals, and many are also very ornamental. They can either be grown in a special herb bed, or scattered amongst ornamental borders, but placed so they can be easily harvested.

Unless otherwise states varieties listed below are grown in 9cm pots, and need a sunny position to thrive. The leaves of all the herbs can either used fresh when the flavour is best, dried or frozen for winter use.

Box, Cotton Lavender (Santolina), Lavender, Dwarf Curry Plant and Garlic Chives make excellent edging plants for herb gardens.
