Mulch

Once all of the plants are in place, it’s time to add a finishing touch: mulch.

Pine mulch has a nice color and texture that complement the colors in the garden and contrast with the starkness of the steppingstones. As the pine mulch breaks down, it will add more organic material to the garden. Once the mulch is smoothed out, water the entire garden.

Mint

For additional garden scent, bring in the pots of mint you planted earlier.

Place them along the edge of the Asian and Greek zones since mint goes well with both.

You can make a simple table by turning a ceramic or terra-cotta pot upside down and topping with a piece of glass or slate. Now you have a table large enough to hold a glass of your favorite beverage — maybe even a snack made with some of your fresh herbs.
