Italian herb gardens
The idea of offering fresh herbs is a difficult subject for many, but here in Italy it is completely common.

The sun, knowledge and, above all, the desire to bring the best of fresh herbs into the kitchen drives almost every Italian to grow fresh herbs near their kitchen door throughout the summer months.

The idea of offering fresh herbs is a difficult subject for many, but here in Italy it is completely common. Almost every house in Italy cultivates its kitchen with fresh basil, sage and rosemary, without the "bat" of an eyelid... it's so very... normal!
The sun, knowledge and, above all, the desire to bring the best of fresh herbs into the kitchen drives almost every Italian to grow fresh herbs near their kitchen door throughout the summer months.
However, there are many ways one can grow aromatic herbs for the kitchen... there is the small vase near the door scenario that holds a simple basil and rosemary... to the contemporary designer's complex, formal layout. As a garden designer, I believe the way to demonstrate the need for fresh Italian herbs is to show them at their best...in a formal layout.
Italian herbs can look absolutely gorgeous when given a minimum of formality to present themselves. With a minimum of advance planning, you can transform any flat spot into the most delicious...and practical, formal Italian herb garden.
It really doesn't take Skill Brown (famous English garden designer) to develop an effective, formal display for aromatic herbs. Simple geometry and a basic understanding of such plants can easily stimulate the mind and project a coherent herbal display that can stimulate and provide healthy organic herbs all year round in any Italian garden. It really couldn't be easier!
