The Herb Garden

Herbs grow readily in the California climate. A kitchen garden with oregano, rosemary, thyme is easy to grow with simple planters, as shown in the Gamble herb garden. In early spring bees are busy around the large rosemary shrubs.

  Herbs are easily grown in pots, as shown in this demonstration area.   The spiky foliage of the artichoke is striking.   New herbs planted in mid-April have filled out the bed by July.
