The Herbs Pot
 A convenient way to grow an her garden is in an herb pot. One
can buy the herb pot or sometimes referred to as a strawberry pot, in
the most garden centres or pot supply outlet. The beauty of having an
herb pot is it can be positioned anywhere convenient for reaching to
get our daily herbs or it can be placed in the front of your garden to
add character and be a conversation piece.
For
this issue, we have a little guide in planting of the herbs into the
pot. Suitable plants will be herbs like basil, mint, aleo vera, chives
and coriander. Rhizomes like galangal or ginger will not be suitable
since there will be little space for them to run.

Garden Design
 Our garden design is inspired by the visit to the Alhambra
and with the permission of the architect and his his client we are
featuring the layout of the portion of the garden which has the
elements of the Patio de Acequia. The Long Pool lies parallel to the
swimming pool, which is surrounded by porticos on three sides. Based on
the layout drawing and the cross section of the long pool and pavilion,
our illustrator Nik Aminah has come up with her artist impression or
perspective of the garden to come.

Drying Roses For Arrangements
 In the last issue of Garden Asia we have seen how the roses
may be dyed and processed into beautiful pressed flowers. In this issue
we will look into the possibility of drying roses for dried flowers for
arrangements.
Be it for pressed flowers or dried flowers the roses must be dyed while
they are still fresh. The dyed roses may be used in arrangement first until sign
of wilting before they are dried. Off course the shapes will be better
maintained if they are dried while they are still fresh.
