Gardening With Herbs: A Practical Guide

Herbs have always been prized for their medicinal and culinary uses, so it is not surprising that they are a feature of nearly every country house garden.

The gardeners of The National Trust are, therefore, well-versed in tending these versatile plants. As well as offering scent, flavor, and health benefits, herbs are also valued for their ornamental qualities. The varied colors and textures of artemisia, sage, and fennel, for instance, are as deserving of a place in the herbaceous border as in the herb garden.

Whether you are inspired to create lavender hedges, chamomile seats, or perfect a potted display, here is professional advice to help you succeed.
