If you fancy a long term supply of your own fresh herbs, growing your own is a great option. Not only will you save on expensive supermarket bought trimmings that seem to wilt and dry up the minute you buy them, you’ll know exactly how they’re grown.
And they can add some great flavour to your garden in so many ways. The pretty look of thyme, basil and lavender dotted about can add an edible sparkle to your borders while a ruffle of herbs like the delicately scented lemon thyme or spearmint can release a lovely aroma.
Where you put them can also be as inventive as you like. Placed in sunny spots throughout your exisitng plants, hanging from baskets, filling up your window boxes, peeking out through any ornamental pot you like or get creative with pallets and tables like the pictures here. Go ahead and have some fun!
