Herb plants for ground cover
In this section, we’ve handpicked a selection of groundcover plants that are also at home in the kitchen. Herbs for ground cover may sound a little unconventional but by using them in place of small lawns or any other spare spots of the garden that receive plenty of light, they’ll help keep your garden looking lush and green whilst suppressing weeds and also reaping benefits from their culinary use. Some of the best herbs for ground cover use are marjoram, oregano, thyme and water mint. Growing herbs, or even creating a herb garden, is easier than you may think. All you need is good light conditions in a weed free, well-drained soil. Herbs are an essential ingredient in a wide range of foods, so growing your own means a fresh supply of aromatic flavourings is never more than a few steps away. When natural growing methods are used, growing your own herbs can be a culinary delight, which we guarantee to taste better than anything you find in the shops. Even if you don't intend to use them in the kitchen, many herbs boast a beautiful aroma and wildlife-attracting flowers, as well as adding a splash of colour. Every home grower should have a few choice herbs in the front border, so take the plunge and grow your own!
