You have finally decided that you want to have your own mini herb garden but before you put in the elbow grease let me show you the steps to take to create one.
To ensure success and so as not to run into situations where the processes have been done in the wrong sequence let me write down for you, the steps recommended in "Successful Herb Gardening ~ Step-by-Step", our recommended reading at the Herb Gardening Site.
Step #1
For the first step, make yourself a cuppa, find a comfortable seat and then with pen and paper in hand, you are ready to start. Next, ask yourself a simple question, "Why herbs?" Then write your answers down by following the detailed guidance on this in the e-book.
Step #2
When you have your list of reasons sorted out, you can then match these reasons to the herbs that can provide you with the solutions to your reasons for wanting to grow a mini herb garden in the first place.
It may be that you have recently been introduced to Italian cooking for which you want a good supply of herbs to experiment with. It may also be that you want to have a constantly available supply of chamomile for making chamomile tea for your child who must be given relief from his constant nightmares.
For a list of healing herbal teas, you can again refer to "Successful Herb Gardening ~ Step-by-Step" or the Herb Gardening Site for help on choosing the right plants for your mini herb garden.
Step #3
After and only after steps one and two would you want to start designing your own mini herb garden.
1. What are the plants that you can group together and how many groups do you want?
2. How are you going to arrange those plants, considering their colour, size and height?
3. Draw out the different mini herb garden designs that you have in your head and position your plants within them. What overall shape do you want? Rectangular, square, round or casual? How about including one of those fancy knots designs?
4. Do you want to create a path through the garden because you would like to walk in it? Perhaps you want to add a special sitting place?
And so on. Again, more ideas are available in the e-book "Successful Herb Gardening ~ Step-by-Step" and at the Herb Gardening Site.
Then you would want to find that location in your garden, backyard or rooftop that will have the space, available sunlight and water that will be ideal for your chosen design.
Do take your time with the above steps and really enjoy this stage of your mini herb garden construction process. The more time you spend on this stage, the more beautiful your garden will be to you.
