herb gardens

Basil and thyme beds

Herb gardens are cultivated plots dedicated to growing herbs—plants valued for their culinary, medicinal, or aromatic properties.

They range from elaborate formal designs to a few pots on a windowsill: She grows basil and thyme in her herb garden.

The term emphasizes intentional cultivation rather than wild gathering.
