I decided to use the space between my two raised garden beds because I will still be able to access the garden beds from all sides and I was tired of mowing that little strip of grass. I decided to use rocks instead of mulch because rocks will last forever, compared to mulch that I would have to replace every few years and now I have a rock garden.
I planted 12 herbs plants:
