Next… What type of herbs do you want to grow? Where do you want to plant them? Herbs used in cooking should be nearby so you have easy access to your culinary herbs. This is where an indoor garden would be handy. Locate an herb container or herb planter right outside your front door filled with parsley, cilantro, dill, thyme, oregano, sage, and garlic or chives. Don't forget...basil. And what about an herb site where medicinal herbs can be made into teas for the cold/flu season like Echinacea, elderberry tea or Aronia berry & black currant tea.

This is where you would plan specific herbs dealing with different functions of the body, such as, respiratory, cardiovascular, or other special interests - creating your own medicinal pharmacy.

Another idea is an aromatherapy herb garden to create a stress-free environment on your patio or balcony. These includes herbs like lavender, lemon verbena, basil, jasmine, angelica, rosemary or sweet woodruff to name a few.

Best of all, herbs attract many different kinds of wild life and it's nice to take a break from a busy day and enjoy what nature has to offer.
