You want to start your own home herb garden but you don't seem to know where to begin. With all the varieties of herbs, what would be the best one to plant? Here are a few ideas to start herb garden. Consider the following types of herb gardens and see which one you would prefer. Let's start with the formal herb garden. The layouts of garden actually date back to medieval and Renaissance Europe. Years later, it is still being used. They are typically composed of a number of small square or rectangular beds arranged in a simple grid pattern. This is typically designed for ease of use and species by species, which makes it easier for harvesting. Another type is the botanical garden that also originated in the medieval era. Created by universities to teach medicine to their students, these botanical gardens included narrow, rectangular beds much in the medieval fashion. If you're not much into the "old school" kind of gardens, you can consider the renaissance type of arrangement. Gone are the neat and rectangular designed gardens. These modern designs are used to emphasize beauty than purpose. The patterns are more complex with the introduction of the square, the rectangle or even the circle. Inside each shape has a single herb variety planted with design in mind. Whatever your design may be, please consider the amount of space you have in your home. If you do have a garden in your backyard, visualize if it can contain these herbs according to your design of choice.
