resource conservation, ecosystem health, sustainability - Edible Architecture : The Herb Spiral

Herb Spirals add instant character and edible architecture to your landscape. Spirals are a great way to grow an abundance of herbs and plants in a small space. The herb spiral creates multiple micro-climates for a range of favorite herbs. Starting at the top where it is sunny and windy Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano and thyme are planted, winding down chives to the north, parsley and cilantro to the east, sage, basil and lavender to the south, wrapping up with water cress or flavored mints at the lowest, moistest point. The mix is up to you as you have lots of space and conditions to work with. Herb spirals also extend the growing season by heating up early in the year and stay productive late into the season from the radiant rock heat.
