My herb garden is a joy, primarily because the deer don’t touch anything (except for one rose).
Heartbreak is avoided and only a swish of hummingbirds and a buzzing of bees in a blizzard of blooms awaits our senses.
The 4 center beds in the garden are culinary, arranged by countries and regions with a tea garden tucked in the corner.
The outer 4 beds are arranged by use: Medicinal, Ornamental, Dye and Fiber, Fragrance, and Ornamental.
Have a seat and enjoy!
