Monastic Herb Garden

A Monastic Herb Garden is a type of garden traditionally associated with monasteries, where monks cultivated various herbs for medicinal, culinary, and ceremonial purposes. These gardens were designed to provide ingredients for healing, cooking, and sometimes for crafting dyes or perfumes. Typically, they feature a wide variety of herbs, including basil, thyme, and sage, often arranged in a systematic layout. Beyond practical uses, these gardens served as tranquil spaces for meditation and reflection, embodying the monastic values of self-sufficiency, simplicity, and a deep connection to nature.
