Planting an Herb Garden

Planting herbs in your garden gives you a source of fresh herbs whenever you want them. Master Gardener John Peterson plants many herbs in a raised bed garden. As he plants he talks about each kind of herb and gives tips and recommendations. He plants sage (2 kinds), dill, parsley (2 kinds), basil (2 kinds), thyme (3 kinds), lavender, oregano, rosemary, and chives. He also plants marigolds to brighten the garden and attract pollinators.
