Herb gardens have special appeal.
Maybe it's the historic associations of herbs, maybe it's their colour, perfume and mythology. Yet a specialised herb garden can provide a decorative element in its own right. Traditional herb gardens are symmetrical and formal in design. In the simplest terms, you might build two paths, crossing at the centre, with four symmetrical gardens around them. You could use a large urn, sculpture or birdbath as a centrepiece, widening the paving to allow for easy passage for you and your guests.
