Maybe, but what is an Italian herb garden? What are itsfeatures and benefits? What's so special about it that you should choose it for your hobby at this time in my life?
Well, in the space permitted and without going into too much detail, an Italian herb garden is:
* An ornamental garden which is designed to be a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the outside world you may have just come in from.
* A garden filled with exotic Mediterranean herb plants that envelop your senses as you sit or walk amongst its beautiful and aromatic herb plants.
* A place where the maintenance required of you is nothing more than a joy as you potter amongst the herb plants and engaging in their epic journeys from seeds to when you can admire and then eat them!
* A private refuge where you can pick your choice of scent to bring indoors when used in herb arrangements around the house or even in your clothes drawers to make your clothing smell good.
* And last but not least, it's a place that provides an ever available supply of healing herbs for:
that soothing cup of herbal tea to relax your body and mind,
that tincture to put you to sleep,
those poultices that relieve your uncomfortable ailments and
even that aloe plant which you snip a bit off to apply to that accidental burn you just got in the kitchen.
* Can you think of any more?
