Herb Garden Designs

Before you begin turning the soil in the garden and prepare planting herbs, start by planning the design that will grace yours growing herbs. It will also help you organize the space, take into account sunlight exposure and the various sized of the herbs you will be growing which are all important points.

Shorter growing plants that loves to bathe in sunlight must not be overshadowed by taller plants, of course, it would be quite ironic if the taller herb also happen to prefer shade. Placing the plants in a manner that respects height order will contribute not only in overall health and favor growth but also in beauty and dimension. These are all to be considered in your herb garden designs.

Before you start designing the space you plan to use for your herb garden, it would be wise to begin by listing the reasons why you wish to start a garden.

Here are some of the tips to help you put your plan together :

• Know the herbs you will be growing. How they look, the color scheme, the fragrances and what you should expect from the mix of several herbs.

• Also research the size and the height of the various plants for proper placement.

• Compare the size of herbs to the area available of the garden to get a ''good feel" of spacing and aesthetics.

• Where and how you will be arranging the plants to favor their varying environmental needs.
