What are the best traditional herbs to include in a Japanese garden setting?
I've been fascinated by Japanese gardens and their serene beauty! As someone who has a strong background in herbal remedies, I've always enjoyed growing various herbs in my garden. I’m thinking about adding some traditional herbs that might complement the Japanese aesthetics while also providing culinary benefits. My garden is located in a temperate climate similar to that of Japan, and I want to know what herbs would not only thrive but also enhance the traditional charm of the garden. I've tried growing basil and mint, but I’m curious if there are specific herbs that fit well in a Japanese setting. Any recommendations on herbs that are beautiful, functional, and stay true to the essence of a Japanese garden would be greatly appreciated!
