With designs for both formal and informal gardens, this text shows how to create an ornamental herb garden from scratch. Each stage in the process is covered, from planning and design to incorporating furniture. For those with either small or no garden, there are ideas for herb beds and container plantings. Advice on combining herb colours, shapes and textures is complemented by suggestions for themed plantings. A "Design Directory" features a variety of case studies of successful herb gardens, and a "Good Herb Guide" gives cultivation and use notes on over 100 of the most beautiful varieties. Photographs and step-by-step artworks provide additional support and information.
