![]() ![]() Here’s a quick overview on how to build an herb spiral, including a fun time-lapse video filmed by a PBS show that visited my garden while I was constructing mine. In fact, after teaching my herb workshop throughout the winter to garden clubs and Master Gardener groups, where I show people how to build their own herb spiral, I often get a few emails in the spring from people who’ve taken on the project and built one themselves after being inspired by my class. Several years later it remains one of my most favorite things I’ve ever built in my garden (along with these easy DIY trellises) and it was so easy! You don’t need any special tools, talent, or know-how to build one in your own garden. An herb spiral was one of the things that caught my eye in the book and I thought it would be a perfect way to add a softer and more organic shape to my front yard garden. I decided to build it when I was expanding my front yard garden and was worried that too many square and rectangular beds would make the garden feel too linear.Īround that time I was reading The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide to Permaculture: Creating an Edible Ecosystem, which is packed with simple projects for the home gardener. This scene plays out over and over again in my garden each year when friends, family, and neighbors get my two cent tour. If you stopped by my garden for a visit one day and I gave you a tour of the front yard you’d likely stop, point and ask, “What’s that?”Īnd then you’d start asking me how I built it.
