If you love cooking and often use herbs, it’s always so much better to have fresh herbs; herbs like Basil, Chives, Cilantro, Coriander, Oregano, Parsley, Lemon Balm, Peppermint, etc… The cost of fresh herbs will vary depending on where you buy from, but it’s always worth it to get them fresh.

Another solution is to buy seeds for the fresh herbs you commonly use and plant them in your garden; your not limited to where you plant herbs though and you can have a small plant box where it’s the most convenient to pick them from.

You can do all kinds of things in terms of design to create a herb garden, from stacked pots with each of the herbs you use, a small garden rockery feature, a few carefully placed hanging baskets that add charm to the outside of your home, or a few plant boxes placed somewhere in your garden.

It’s best to plant herbs that will thrive all year round and in different temperatures, as well as germination and harvest times.
