Take a Seat in the Herb Spiral Garden

The bench in the Herb Spiral Garden has recently been renovated, creating an even more inviting place for visitors to pause, relax, and enjoy this unique garden space. The garden features a variety of culinary and medicinal herbs arranged in a spiral design inspired by traditional European herb gardens.

The renovated bench was made possible through the efforts of Master Gardeners Vanita Keeter, Hilda Ross, and Diane Fagan, along with Nick Keeter. Thank you for helping make this garden space even more welcoming for visitors.

We invite you to stop by, take a seat, and enjoy the beauty of The Learning Fields. To learn more about our gardens and projects, visit thelearningfields.org. While you’re there, be sure to explore our upcoming events, workshops, and special activities.
