For those who adhere to an “informal” style in landscape design, herbal garden - a real find. The garden where they reign herbs, is not an invention of today, but an ancient tradition that is coming back into fashion. If you have a small free space on your property that you would like to decorate with ornamental plants and use to the fullest, then an “aromatic” vegetable garden is what you need. From herbs you can build a flower bed, a border and, in the end, an ordinary garden bed. Read the article about which herbs are best grown in an “aromatic” garden.

Rules for organizing an “aromatic” vegetable garden

Forming a flower bed or bed with herbs is not too different from creating a regular flower garden.

Choose a place in the garden for the flower bed so that it can be easily approached in any weather. Its shape can be any: round, square, triangular. Plant the tallest plants, such as cumin, fennel, tarragon, in the center so that they do not shade other plants. Among the beautifully flowering herbs, you can also plant borage with bright blue edible flowers and red quinoa with bright, beautiful leaves in the center. Along the border you can plant plants with graceful leaves - chervil, curly parsley, thyme, savory.

A special place should be reserved for annual spices. In the space allocated for them, be sure to sow basil, chervil, dill, leaf mustard and other plants of your choice, desire and taste.

An indispensable element of a garden in a village is a vegetable garden, and therefore even the most simple beds will look natural on the site.

To prevent tall plants from shading other inhabitants of the herb bed, build them a light support from twigs or wire. The rest, smaller herbs, should be grouped around tall plants. In order for the spices to grow well and have that same pronounced smell and taste, it is better to place the garden bed in a sunny place and water it more often.

It is not at all necessary to plant all herbs directly into the ground. Some of them can be planted in pots without bottoms and plastic containers, for example, mint - because its roots can spread over a large area.

Having started making preparations and using essential oil plants for cooking, you will soon evaluate and decide which herbs are raw materials, and what volumes your family needs to prepare for future use for up to a year.
