Raised Herb Garden


The raised herb garden is a great idea to keep rabbits (among other small creatures) from making a meal out of your fresh herbs.  It also makes for easy weeding;  no bending, kneeling, and stretching.  Of couse, you can substitute herbs for a raised flower garden.  This one measures 2'4"H x 3'7"W x 2'0"D.

Materials needed:

4                    4x4 posts
4                     finials (Optional)
20'                 1" x 6" Board
6                     Herb plants
Pea gravel    For drainage 1-2"
Soil                 4" over pea gravel

                        

I chose to plant Sweet Basil, Lemon Thyme, Parsely, Rosemary, Pineapple Sage, Fern Leaf Dill.

Organically Yours,

Nancy
