Kevin’s Herb Garden Design: The Video!

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | June 15, 2017 102 Comments

I love, love, love my tiny Herb Garden. It’s a fun place to relax with a book, a cocktail, or both. And would you believe that a friend and I made this oasis over a weekend in 2007, and for a budget of about $100? All true. Tour the garden in the video above, and you’ll hear all the details concerning its simple design.

    I made something the other day that was easy to make and because it had garlic in my opinion it had to be healthy. With all the herbs growing in your garden you could probably come up with a similar recipe that is delicious and healthy as well. I started with garlic bread and broke it into several pieces and put it on an oven tray. On the side I heated up ham and cheese. When the bread was ready, I added the ham and cheese to it and served it with a simple cucumber salad with sunflower and avocado oil. I also drizzled some of the oil lightly over the ham and cheese sandwiches. For a beverage we had luzianne tea. I’m diabetic so I’m trying to eat healthier.

    Hi Debra Lee — You can apply pea gravel at any depth you like. I applied mine about 2 inches deep (thick). Nothing to maintain, really. The gravel is super-durable!

    If I give you $100 this September will you come up and build me a replica of this? I doubt I could buy pea gravel for that price let alone the box wood, arbor, fencing and GORGEOUS Planter 🙂 *sigh* ooooh to be 07 again! ~ back to the drawing board

    The winter photo of the boxwood edging was especially intriguing. So much disappears in winter and leaves one searching in vain for color or texture across the view of the yard. You have made a charming herb garden worth a look in all four seasons.

    Also, interesting history about your house and the year it was built, 1826….WOW…it certainly looks good from the outside and I rather imagine the interior is equally well done. Thanks,

    Yay! You win the prize for solving a problem we’ve had for a few years! We’ve wanted to make a private garden without blocking our view of a little meadow. Your brilliant idea of posts with galvanized wire mesh will keep out guests from walking into the one place we want for our personal enjoyment, and still maintain our view! Thank you! BTW, do you have a way to remove pea gravel that gets stuck in shoe soles so guests don’t accidentally walk on our wood floors with a rogue pea gravel wedged in their shoe and scratch the floors?

    Wonderful video, Kevin! You’ve given me a wonderful incentive to tackle our northwest corner!
    I’ve always enjoyed your little tours and am actively using your cardboard box/newspaper idea up here in Vermont, but now the pea gravel… we just had our driveway done with black gravel which is cheap up here, so I will probably use that unless pea gravel is cheaper. I like the look of both. Kudos and thank yous~

    Thanks for the garden video; more home and garden videos, please! While few of us can live in an 1825 home and build big, beautiful gardens, your fabulous blog and videos are a universal inspiration. Thanks to your advice, the garden beds around my nine-year-old home in an age-restricted community provide me year-round joy, views, and exercise. Love the recipes and cooking videos, too!

    I really enjoyed this new video. I’m not looking to create an herb garden, but everything you do is interesting and beautiful, Kevin. And I had to chuckle at your tone of voice and expression when you admitted to paying only 50 bucks for that arbor. What true gardener doesn’t like to boast about the great deal he or she made for something to use in their landscape. You’re so cute! 🙂

    Hello Kevin,
    We enjoyed your video and would like to see one for your woodland garden. We saw your place on a garden tour a few years ago and enjoyed all your effort on the gardens and maintenance. We have our own gardens and woodland garden and pond now. Your woodland garden was the inspiration for ours.

    Oh yes, a house tour, please. I always learn something clever and useful from you and seeing your herb garden video was super! So many ideas…I took notes.
    I appreciate how you took such a plain, almost forgotten looking spot at the back of your home and turned it into a showplace. On the cheap, too. Really inspiring, thank you.

    What a beautiful herb garden you have created! It’s such an inspiration for changes I want to make in my own. So rainy and cool here, my herbs have not done well this year. Except the peppermint. That would survive a nuclear blast fer sure! And it’s so useful – especially for Derby Day – I haven’t the heart to rip it out. Even so, I don’t think I could eradicate it if I tried. So I don’t.

    Great video! I like your resourcefulness and practicality. Your garden herb probably took months to build with lots of patience for that arbor to go on sale. Thanks for the educational video.
    Meanwhile, for a no-space apartment living, would appreciate some tips on container garden herbs for my kitchen window sill. I can grow a pot of mint but cannot grow rosemary. Spiders like rosemary too much.
    I’ve seen Photos of your container flowering plants inside your house at winter time. Got some ideas from those too. Thanks!

    Your herb garden is stunning, and you did a great job making your video! Did you lay landscape fabric or some other weed barrier under your pea gravel path? I mulch my paths and chuck the decomposed mulch into the surrounding beds, but that’s not as inexpensive a solution as a permanent pea gravel path.

    Loved the tour,Thanks ! Somebody mentioned your home was lucky to have you taking care of it . I completely agree. That’s why its smiles at you so much.! I also shop when things are cheap. I have set a raised bed on top of an ancient concrete turnaround . I find that it gets too hot in the summer. I have a mulberry tree that lends a bit of shade but apparently not enough. It gets western sun and that is hot in Atlanta.

    Can you explain how to plant radishes so they will “make ” radish and not just wiggly little roots? i have tried for three years! and I get some sad results

    I built a 10 x 12 foot raised bed about 10 years ago. At the time we had a plentiful supply of horse manure compost that I blended in with garden soil and a huge block of sphagnum moss. Our soil was so rocky and hard that carrots never grew deep or well. The raised bed has produced tons of veggies and flowers over the years. I took your advice last year and laid down layers of newspaper and topped with wood chips. Even with the severe drought western NY experienced last summer my garden overflowed with green peppers, tomatoes, basil and garlic, not to mention mums, asters and snapdragons.

    Kevin,
    Really enjoying your videos. Having seen pictures of your herb garden before, I never really paid attention to the fencing. That is exactly the kind of fencing I need so as not to block my view if the lake!
    I too want to know where your traditional herbs are growing….

  58. 58

    Kevin Lee Jacobs says

    June 17, 2017 at 5:16 pm

    Hi Judy Hines and Gail L. – I have basil growing against the fence, and parsley in one of the raised beds. As for mint, thyme, tarragon, and other perennial herbs that spread and spread, I keep them confined to pots!

  59. 59

    Judith Collins says

    June 17, 2017 at 5:38 pm

    Kevin… you are so welcoming and make us feel like family! Your video was great…. Your garden and tips are wonderful!

    Darn I’ve tried boxwood cuttings to no avail….Boxwood is so beautiful…. and those larger bushes I transplanted (part shade) are not doing well…. getting yellow leaves… but new growth is surfacing. I’m praying they bounce back because they’ve been in the new space for over a year…. and are quite large. They were great the first season… the second not so much.

    You must have a team of people helping you because your space and home and garden is lovely. Unless you are superman…. it’s impossible to do what you do with one person! LOL

    Love the supertunias. My mint in pots does beautiful at beginning of season… then get’s yucky yellow… I’ve pulled up most from ground just because of the spreading and transferred to pots. MMMM…. not sure what’s wrong.

    Here’s a funny…. I have free tomato bushes (yes bushes… they are so robust) growing in my front garden… The birds must have dropped the seeds… and they are doing better than my other tomatoes in my raised beds….. (although they are coming along) Thank you birds…. now I see more tomato plants sprouting up here and there in my front garden evenand it’s mid June!

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    Blessings! and of course we want to see more tours!

    Hi Kevin,
    Your herb garden has given me a new idea for raised beds surrounding a soon-to-be removed tree that is dangerously rotted (big limbs fall without warning). I will use the stump as the center focal point, with raised beds surrounding it cruciform style edged with boxwood. Might as well take advantage of the sun that will appear and use the stump to my advantage. My property is already fenced so no need for more. My garden is so lush I happily share it with my bunny, chipmunk family, squirrels, and myriad bees and butterflies. Thanks for sharing your ideas. You are always a ray of sunshine no matter what the weather.

    You’re herb garden is exactly what I’m hoping to do this year. I’ve had so much trouble with woodchucks and rabbits in the previous years it’s a must to put that wire fencing around my 4 raised beds. They never bothered my basil, but leveled my lettuce plants and pea pods. Tomatoes not so much, but the squash and egg plant were nibbled at. So much work to have this happen. Did they bother the herbs before you designed the fencing? Thank you for all you share, really enjoy it.

    How close did you put your boxwood starts to the other boxwoods you took them from? In other words I planted my normal sized plants about 24 inches apart and then put a start in between possible two in between is that too far or too close?

    Kevin–
    I urge you to try growing rosemary variety “Arp” in your herb garden. It is winter-hardy in Zone 6, mine has been in the ground in a south-facing, masonry-surrounded location (Westerly, RI granite and some brick) for approx. 10 years now. Occasionally takes a hit of slight winter-kill but comes right back. Fully bloomed this year, at one point was over 40″ tall. Trunk at the base is the size of my wrist. Grown organically, soil amended with horse manure and wood shavings, and garden lime–once, about 7-8 years ago. Very drought-tolerant, a wonderful host for nesting mantises, too. What’s not to love about fresh rosemary, all year ’round?

    Oh I would love to do this but have no idea where in the yard it should go!! So beautiful and resourceful!!! Can you instruct me how you used the boxwood clippings to plant small boxwoods around each bed? I would love to try this with my existing boxwoods.

    Loved your garden tour and helpful gardening tips, Kevin. I think it is neat how you thought of giving your garden a shape to make it visually pleasing. I have always done that with flower gardens, but had never given it a thought to try that with veggies.

    Hi Kevin,
    I just read Garden Design’s email and had to pop over to say Hi and see your herb garden. It is lovely and gives me lots of ideas for starting my own. All of my herbs currently reside in pots and I would love to have them in a more permanent home.
