Cloister Herb Garden
http://www.segodesign.com

Heat intensifies aromatic oils in herbs. This cloister garden was designed for heat, with herbs in color blocks.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lily Gahagan to Herb Gardens for Indoors and Out
The well-contained plots of this outdoor herb garden are reminiscent of traditional French potagers.
A formal planting design is clean and classic and makes it easy to find the goodies.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Easy Herbs for Every Space
A cloister garden is a traditional approach to growing herbs. The walls and pebbles reflect heat, helping to intensity the flavors of these sun lovers. Consider this approach on a smaller scale in a sunlight-filled corner of your yard.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: French Garden Style
While vegetables may be the last thing you'd expect in the formality of a traditional French garden, don't overlook them completely. Potagers and herb gardens were staples of design. Here, the classical influence is seen in the high walls, the gravel path and the wood-edged parterres.

Vegetable garden. Have boxwoods surrounding as traditional symmetric garden, as opposed to the fence. Still have the crushed limestone or sea shells or small pebbles on walkway.
