How about an Herb Garden? 
The growing of Herbs is an interesting and fascinating pursuit. They may 

Lavender 
be planted in either the vegetable or the flower garden and those who have 
the necessary space may set apart a special area for an herb garden. Most of 
them do well in an average soil and with few exceptions they like a good 
share of sunshine. Good drainage is essential to the majority and the soil 
should not be too rich. 
Spade the soil deeply and pulverize well. Established plants need little care, 
though an occasional cultivation is important to prevent weeds from estab- 
lishing themselves. 
We list here 10 of the most popular Herbs, others are available on request.
