The early cottage gardeners used herbs for medicinal purposes and companion planting, but now herbs are mostly used in cooking, where a well stocked herb garden is invaluable for a constant supply of fresh herbs for the culinary delights of today. Herbs also feature prominently in the ornamental garden as decorative plants where the leaves and flowers can be used for pot-pourri. Herb gardens need not be large, a small patch near the kitchen door or even a few containers with mixed herbs on the patio or windowsill. Most of the herbs are easy to grow from seeds, they can be used as fresh leaves in season and then dried for use in the winter.
Companion planting of herbs alongside vegetables has been used for many years, many gardeners use herbs to ward off insects, aid pest problems and increase yield.
