The herb garden
If you want to create a herb garden, you should take a look at the herb gardens of a monastery or one of the old mansions and just get inspired. One finds in such plants the peace the satisfaction and also a few ideas, how one could arrange its own herb garden. Most of the beds are easily accessible by small paths, so you can easily get to all the herbs everywhere.
