Starting a herb garden

 

Hello from down under.  I am a new member and would like to start a herb
garden that has the common herbs, like basil, chives, thyme, mint, parsley,
rosemary, bay tree.  But I would like to include other herbs for health and
well being.  I have read their are alchemy gardens.  But when I goggle this
I cannot find a list.  Any suggestions.
Regards.
Livy

I think you must mean "Apothecary Gardens".  Alchemists where forerunners to
metallurgists whereas Apothecarys were forrunners to what we Ockers would
call chemists these days.

google has heaps of hits on apothecary gardens and if you read Ellis Peters'
"Brother Cadfael" books you'll learn a lot about what sort of plants filled
and Apothecary's garden.

You do know that there is an Australian gardening ng?  It's called
aus.gardens
