Herb Gardening
Forest gardening (also known as 3-Dimensional Gardening) is a food production and land management system based on replicating woodland edge ecosystems, substituting trees (such as fruit or nut trees), bushes, shrubs, herbs and vegetables which have yields directly useful to humankind.

Many are excellent companion plants, that are just as gorgeous in your vegetable patch as your flower beds. Most herbs are very pretty, are easy to grow and demand little attention.
