Sage, lavender, thyme, hyssop and basil have all been used in the Hampton Court Royal Palace kitchen garden since the 17th century and are used within the planting palette for a contemporary spin on how this plant family can provide beauty, enjoyment and relaxation in the garden. These plants are often used to infuse flavours in cocktails, teas and syrups, inviting us to unwind and find stillness in the garden at the end of a busy day. Plants that invite the buzz of wildlife, look and smell beautiful but also add a stimulating flavour and aroma to every sip of your favourite sundowner. The planting is gentle and natural, in warm sunset tones with pops of joyful colour. A relaxed seating spot and reflective water bowl enhance the restful atmosphere - the perfect place for a mindful moment to enjoy your favourite drink and savour the beauty and aromas of the garden.
