This is an easy and creative plan for circle herb garden you can make in your backyard. I made a list of herbs for this herbal garden, but what to plant depends on your personal preference and needs, just make sure your herb garden is handy to the kitchen.

Growing herbs is surprisingly easy because they are by their very nature resistant to disease and insects. Herbs demand little attention, usually like sunshine and well drained sites bolstered with compost, but they are very forgiving in poor conditions.

Herb garden plan should start with an eight to nine foot radius circle divided into four equal quadrants by steping stones. You can put an ornamental sundial at the centre if you want or use some other decoration you prefer. Plant the tall specimens toward the centre and allow room for expansion.

Hardiness zones are based on the average annual extreme minimum temperature during a 30-year period in the past, not the lowest temperature that has ever occurred in the past or might occur in the future.

Plant hardines zone maps are just guides. They are based on the average lowest temperatures, not the lowest ever. Gardeners should keep that in mind when selecting plants, especially if they choose to "push" their hardiness zone by growing plants not rated for their zone. Also, keep in mind that there might still be microclimates that are too small to show up on the hardiness zone map.
