Make your garden work hard for you by double duty planting in the garden.  Save water, time and money while adding a beautiful spot to the garden.

USE HERBS AND VEGGIES AS FILLERS IN THE GARDEN                                                                                                  Herbs and veggies can blend in with most gardens-plant in between other perennials to save space and water!A lot of herbs and veggies are pretty! Add them into the landscape for texture and color-Break some rules and use herbs and veggies as part of the design- blueberries make a great hedge!

 SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH A KITCHEN GARDEN                                                                                                          Find a easy to access area near the back door of your home or a spot that you can go and grab  a herb for cooking  Add a garden in a small place on unused side yard  

PLANT A POT BY THE BACK DOOR FOR COLOR AND CONVEINCE                                                                               Use herbs in pots to dress up the back porch- mix with annual color  Pot up some lettuce and place in the garden-keep it at the back door when ready to plant for a quick salad

 Don’t have a yard – pots work well in part shade to full sun- add herbs to the entrance – nothing smells better than a whiff of rosemary or lavender.
