I am trying to establish a small herb garden. Can anyone tell me what I
should plant in an area about 1 meter square? I would prefer perennials.
Thanks

Types of herbs are quite variable in the conditions that they like. What is
your climate like? What is your soil like? Is this 1 metre plot sunny or
shady, well drained or not? What do you want to do with the herbs?

A rosemary bush would fill up that size spot and then spill over the edges.

1 sq mtr = 1 tyhme, 1 oregano, 1 sage, one parsley and one sweet marjoram
or
1 rosemary
or
a pot of mint
They are mostly perennials too or self seed.
