We can find many spirals in nature's "patterns"
We try to mimic nature by creating gardens that become the ideal "home" for plants we desire to make our food and, in turn, our bodies healthy. The spiral pattern gives multi-dimensional spaces for plants and the herb garden functions best near the kitchen so we are always able to reach for those wonderful herbs. So we create a 'form' that benefits each plant in a 'microclimate' we have created (sunny aspect, shady aspect, elevations (top of spiral) that will drain for those plants that thrive in well drained soils, elevations (lowest level in spiral) that maintain some moisture in the soil, and spaces that function somewhere within those elevations. We learn what each plant needs and place it there, with care for the earth, care for people, creating an abundance that we can share.
infused with the elements on the site, the gardeners energy, the organic matter in the soil, used and the plants the gardener has chosen... the special energies as you build it and your own spirit as you watch it fill in with an abundance of the herbs you have
