Herbs are more than just accents alongside the tomatoes; they are some of the hardest-working and prettiest plants in the garden. In this class, we’ll explore how perennial herbs can elevate your kitchen garden by providing structure, texture, and year-round beauty. From the silvery leaves of lavender to the tidy mounds of thyme, we’ll look at how to design with herbs as foundational plants—not just accents. We’ll also dig into the function side of things: how herbs can deter pests, attract pollinators, and contribute to the health of your whole garden ecosystem. You’ll walk away with design tips, plant suggestions, and practical ideas to make your kitchen garden both gorgeous and productive.
