Herbs, edibles & vegetables
Romantic, aromatic and edible, the sun-soaked order of a well-maintained herb garden is an enticing idea. Choose a sunny well drained position for your garden and consider creating a design that will enable you to reach all the plants with ease. Some herbaceous plants are large - lovage and angelica for example. Others, such as sage, will naturally cover well over a metre within a few years, so allocate sufficient space. ; Top tip: Choose plants with different maturing times to keep your herb garden productive for longer periods.
