ornamental herb garden

The week of church improvements is winding down. Yesterday, I went and bought all the planitngs for our new ornamental herb garden at church. The hope is that our neighbors and church members will be able to pick fresh herbs to take home and use as the plants develop. I am also hoping it will serve as an example of how you can put edible herbs within your regular landscaping and have beautiful beds.

Last night, I laid out all the plants and will plant and mulch them today. I have included familiar herbs such as bergamot (bee balm), basil, thyme and parsley as well some more unusual herbs that have nice ornamental properties. These include 3 varieties of hyssop, chamomille, and false indigo.

Will post some initial pictures as well as pictures of things as they progress when I get my camera back. Mary is borrowing it for her trip this week.
