One classic herb garden design is that of small beds with brick pathways between them. Here, that approach has been expanded into a formal patio area with room for seating. No need for riotous color; the varying shades of green provide enough interest, and the cool colors reflect the landscape beyond the patio edge.
Still prefer a traditional veggie patch? No problem — keep the veggies together but give some thought to the layout and construction of beds. Break out of the standard 4 feet by 8 feet raised wood beds lined up along the back property line. Give your beds style and an attractive layout that looks great year-round. Include a space for lounging, dining or entertaining. Low stone walls add structure, enclosure, visual interest and additional seating in this combined veggie garden and dining patio.
Tuscany style. open to air, sunshine. neat paths and patio of brick. veggies easily planted in squares or rounded areas (not raised). charming for dining or entertaihing. beautiful!
