Kitchen Herb Garden Plan
A well designed herb garden is both functional and beautiful. However, it can be a lot of work to come up with the right herb garden plan for your needs. Instead, why not take a look at this kitchen herb garden example. After all, it is much easier to use a plan that has already been created than to come up with one from scratch.
The kitchen herb garden plan is one of the most popular types. These gardens are usually more practical than ornamental, but that doesn’t mean they have to look unattractive. To create the most eye-pleasing look, you should plant your herbs in groups of three, five, or seven, instead of planting them in tidy rows of individual plants.
This kitchen herb garden plan is ideal for cooks who like a bit of Italian flavoring in their food and will fill an eight foot by eight foot space. You will need to shop for three cilantro plants, three to five Italian parsley plants, five to seven basil plants of different varieties, three rosemary plants, one to three sage plants of different varieties, and seven or more thyme plants.
Now, it is time to use the herb garden plan to plant your herbs. Plant your rosemary plants in a triangular pattern near the back right side of the bed. These herbs get fairly large, so you want to give them plenty of growing space. Plant the sage plants in the back left side of the bed. You will need to keep your sage pruned back to keep it from taking over the entire bed with its sprawling growing habit, but you will probably prune these plants naturally as you harvest herbs for cooking. Next, plant the basil in a clump in the center back of the bed, but slightly closer to the front of the bed than you planted the other herbs. Basil can get big, but isn’t as thuggish as rosemary or sage, so it can’t always hold its own against the other herbs. Then, plant the cilantro in the middle of the bed on the left side and plant the Italian parsley to the right. Finally, plant the thyme plants across the front of the herb bed.
Of course, if an Italian kitchen herb garden isn’t the right type of garden for you, you can easily substitute other herbs for the ones in the herb garden plan. Just be sure the plants you are switching have a similar growing pattern. For example, you can easily exchange the cilantro for chives.
