How do you layout an herb garden?

Position shorter herbs, such as parsley and marjoram, at the front of the garden, often the south side. Low-growing herbs including thyme, Roman chamomile and yarrow look attractive when placed at the edges of the garden. Sun-loving herbs, including basil and sage, also get plenty of light at the front of the garden.

What herbs come back every year?

Perennial herbs like sage, thyme, lavender, chives and mint do not need to be replanted each year.

To make matters more confusing, dill, fennel, and a few other annual herbs reseed each year.

Where should I put an herb garden indoors?

Find the best spot for an indoor herb garden.
