Take your pick from these herb garden ideas and you'll always have a fragrant collection of culinary delights to choose from

You can never have enough herb garden ideas in your plot, whether that's a collection of small pots grouped together or a large planter brimming with your pick of favorites. As well as a pretty display and gorgeous scent it means you will also have a daily supply of fresh herbs to hand for cooking with.

Once you get your herb garden up and running you will end up with a collection that will last for years. As well as the classics such as rosemary, parsley, and thyme, try adding more unusual herbs to the mix like varieties of scented leaf sages such as orange and lemon, and chocolate or ginger mint.

Flowering and aromatic herbs are a magnet for pollinating insects too which will benefit your garden all round, especially if you're growing vegetables.

If space is tight, experiment with arranging your herb collection vertically or in hanging containers to make the most of your growing potential. It also makes your kitchen garden ideas more practical as everything will be in one place. 

It's a great upcycling opportunity too, especially if you like the idea of growing everything in one big container. 

You'll never be short of fresh produce to add to your favorite dishes with our herb garden ideas. Whether you have a large backyard, a small patio, or just a kitchen windowsill, there are plenty of ways to learn how to create a herb garden in your space.
