I've always adored herbs for their medicinal and nutritional properties, but it is only lately that I have realized that herbs are also quite beautiful in the garden.

My husband has planted a lovely, aromatic herb garden in our front yard. Both my son and I take great joy in our daily walkabouts, stopping here and there to inhale some lemonbalm or lavender.

Our garden may be small, but we love it! Soon, I hope to cultivate the herbs for our own use, but for today, I don't mind just drinking in all of the garden splendour.

| Sage, the great purple beauty! |
A herb garden also happens to be incredibly low maintenance too! It needs lots of sun but very little tending to. Certain herbs tend to take over and need to be cut back each year.
