Use the planning grid to design a Tudor garden for growing herbs for use in cooking. All the information you need is in the HERBS database.

• Make sure that you only use herbs which have a culinary use.

• Select ANNUALS for the centre bed. These will die off each winter and the ground can be dug over.
• Put taller plants in the centre of the bed and shorter ones in the corners.

• Select PERENNIAL herbs for the corner beds.
  These can be left from year to year and need no digging.
• Put different coloured flowers in each corner.
  Make one corner for blue and one for white.
  The other corners could be for yellow, purple, or pink flowers.
• Put the tallest plants in each bed at the back against the wall.

• Make a label for the tallest and shortest herbs in your garden, showing the name of the plant and its culinary use.
