pointsevenout 9 months ago said: eddible flower and herb garden help I am making a 10 yard square formal elevated flower and herb garden stepped up in 1 foot increments toward the center. It should look something like an Inca pyramid when finished.
I'm looking for suggestions on what flowers and herbs and maybe a few vegetables I should plant and in what arrangement I can use to keep the shorter plants to the outside of the garden and progressing to the taller ones the farther into the garden.

some of my favorites edible flowers though are: marigold, nasturtium (though be careful where you plant these, as aphids love 'em - so plant then next to the marigolds to help keep away the aphids), lavender, mustard plants - butterflies love these, pansies, and violets.
Herbs - well don't even get me started - thyme, rosemary, cilantro, parsley, chives (flowers edible too) just to name a few Points
