🌿 What Is a Spiral Herb Garden?
A spiral herb garden is a permaculture classic — a vertical garden bed shaped like a spiral shell that brings beauty, biodiversity, and function into a compact space.
By mimicking nature’s spiral geometry, this design allows you to grow dozens of herbs in a small footprint, while naturally managing sun, water, and soil diversity.
