Beskrivelse
Herbs are among the most valuable of garden plants, but their ornamental qualities are all too often overlooked. In this text, Catherine Mason provides a wealth of imaginative ideas for creating beautiful herb gardens of all kinds, from simple window boxes filled with culinary herbs, through colour-themed herb borders, to traditional knot gardens. Guidance is given on siting the herb garden, choosing a layout and construction the “hard landscape” of paths and walls. There is a chapter on planting which explains practicalities and eight specially photographed case studies of established herb gardens to show how all the theory can be put into practice.
