At the beginning of summer, we had dinner with our friends Kitty and Charlie in Vermont, we spotted this beautiful herb mound in the back – I had never herd of one.

Maria took to it also, and she gathered  rocks from the pasture, made a base and we brought over some donkey manure. We planted seeds and bought some live herbs and I watered the mound conscientiously.

We now have a happy and thriving herb mound, the herbs we bring in to put on our food are delicious, and this garden looks like it’s been here for a hundred years.
