Herb spirals offer a garden design option with multiple benefits. How to create them correctly is explained in this book.

Herb spirals are not only attractive to look at, but they also provide great practical use. It’s no wonder that more and more gardeners are interested in this optimal combination of decoration and utility. The practical guide Herb Spirals Terrace Gardens contains all the essential information about this element of garden design, which originates from permaculture. The creation and construction of herb spirals are clearly explained, with an emphasis on simple alternatives to the often unnecessarily complicated building methods. And regarding size, a common misconception is dispelled: herb spirals can fit even in small gardens and can beautify almost any green space.

The range of design options presented extends from terrace gardens to herb beds, herb couches, dry stone walls, and even herb craters, all of which have been tried and tested by the authors in practice.

And so it doesn’t stop at building the spiral, a section of the book is dedicated to the unsung heroes of every garden—the herbs—and their diverse uses in cooking, natural medicine, and pharmacy!

By the way: The name Holzer is a commitment. Both Josef Andreas and Claudia Holzer contributed to the book Sepp Holzer’s Permaculture. Jens Kalkhof has been putting Holzer-style permaculture into practice for many years. Their extensive knowledge is, of course, also reflected in the volume Herb Spirals Terrace Gardens.
