The flower bed right outside my front door that has the rose bushes (and my basil) is in the process of being made into an herb garden, and I will also put some large pots of some sort there for some seasonal plantings. Anyhow, I do not have an eye for garden design (AT ALL). Would love it if some of my friends and blog readers would be willing to share their favorite photos, garden sites, etc or just give suggestions…… Here’s a photo of the bed…..
The bed is approx. 8′ x 18′. And other than the roses and the basil in the front right hand corner, everything else is weed….I’m hoping to spend a few minutes out there this morning pulling weeds. Would love any and all suggestions!

Lori,
Society Garlic, rosemary and lavendar can be 3 nice herbs that are also quite ornamental. They are also drought tolerant. You may like a creeping thyme. I have chives in my garden as well and if allowed to flower and seed, make a pretty purple flower. We have our peppers growing in our herb bed on an inexpensive trellis.
I’ll send you pictures of our low maintenance beds and herb garden.

I’m sorry to say I don’t have that green thumb :o(
but, your roses are just beautiful!
I have Matt’s cousin who is a master gardener come and tell me what to buy and plant. My dream would be to have a crew come and landscape! Wouldn’t that be fun?
Have a great day!
