Sitting Walls…

Here’s a great way to create a herb garden AND somewhere to sit and enjoy it…

Pick a sunny spot and make a raised border with a surrounding edge about 400-450mm high and around 300-400mm wide. It doesn’t have to be big, just a 600mm square planting area will do. You can use blocks, bricks or a timber frame to make the sides. Fit timber decking or planed timber planks to the top surface of the edge. Plant your favourite herbs in the middle and use the surrounding wall as a seat; when the herbs have grown you can sit and enjoy their scent as you brush against them – as well as picking them to eat!

You can always build one or two sides against an existing wall to make life easier – or you can get us to make you a custom raised border kit…
