Creating a herb spiral in your own garden is not difficult. Planting a spiral of herbs is a pleasure. A quick picture search on one of the search engines already provides some design ideas. If you like it a little “wilder”, opt for a spiral made of loosely stacked stones. The walls of a spiral designed in this way also offer enough shelter for insects and small animals. If you want something more accurate, you can also build the spiral from neatly stacked bricks. There are almost no limits to the design options.

What options are there to plant the herb spiral?
The great advantage of planting a herb spiral is the availability of different climatic zones in a small space. Mediterranean herbs in particular feel good at the tip of the herb snail. Thyme, salbie, oregano, rosemary and marjoram love the place in the sun. For the middle range are the lemon balm, fennel, and coriander
Nasturtiums suitable. The lower end of the herb snail should be reserved for moisture-loving, local herbs: chives, parsley and dill, for example, are herbs that are in good hands there.The small caves between the stones can also be planted with herbs.
