The Herb Garden, which is hemmed in by our vast basil collection of over 13 varieties, features colorful mixed beds with flowers sprinkled here and there to create a vivid and unusual herb display.

The first colorful exhibit to grab your attention is The Big Ten College Color Show. The flowers we have selected coordinate with the Big Ten College’s school colors. Contained in the center of the herb garden is a raised bed featuring a miniature dioramic scene, complete with buildings and vehicles in scale with the plants.

On to the Basic Ten Bed - here you will see the most popular herbs and most likely, some of your favorites used in food preparation. A must see, is the Tea Garden where you will find featured herbs that can be steeped to make aromatic and flavorful herbal teas.

A visit to the herb garden is sure to inspire new ideas for edible, yet decorative plants to add to your garden borders.
