Herb spiral

An herb spiral is a three dimensional garden bed for the cultivation of culinary herbs. The herb spiral is an example of permaculture design. It enables a variety of plants with different needs to grow in a small space and makes it possible to cater to the smallest space habitat requirements of plants of different climatic zones.

The herb spiral was invented by Bill Mollison. In his 1988 book Permaculture: A Designers‘ Manual, he discussed the omnipresence of spiral shapes in nature and early cultures.
