An aromatic herb garden....

Wild Sage
So you've found yourself with a small garden, or a patio or a sunny window to put flower boxes in. Why not discover the beauty of growing herbs?
Herbs adore full sun but will tolerate shady spots too. If you like you can follow the example of the medieval monastery gardens and create a raised bed with planks. Fill the box with top soil then plant away!
Water regularly and there are lots to choose from.
Why not try: rosemary, sage, lemon balm, thyme, lavender, mint, rue, basil, marjoram, parsley, chives, borage. The list is endless.
My favourite - wild sage!
