The Parsley Labyrinth

These photos show both sides of our L-shaped Parsley Labyrinth. See how lush and full those short green parsley walls are? That's our little garden shed in the background. The tall flowering plants around the edge are Himalayan impatiens.



This is how the labyrinth looked the first year we had it. But unfortunately, our second year of operation was not so successful . . . more on that tomorrow.

  1. I suspect that the parsley went mad... Or bunnies came to visit. Looks lovely, though! My friend made a herb spiral garden in the country, it was hard to maintain but so nice to gaze at. Lois

  3. Awesome!! And I LOVE all of your foliage around it too. not only is is lush and beautiful, but it frames, and provides a nice counterpoint.

    Hmmm. .drought, bunnies, parsley decided to be creative in where it grew. .some of each, or none of the above. .but I'll bet you come up with a solution!

  4. That is really neat! And I admire the Rare One's ability to design the labyrinth in an L shape.
    And Himalayan Impatiens! Beautiful. Love the yard. Love the labyrinth.

  8. Lovely....
    Imagine of that parsley were to grow to, like, 7 feet in height.

    Parsley doesn't do that...does it?

  10. What a great idea. There's a church in my town that has a labrynth that I love walking, but wow, to have one in my own backyard (not that I have one) would be amazing. Definately to add to my list of home owning requirements!

    Cheers!

  12. This is fantastic! I know from growing my own farm-sized garden (and mine is nowhere near this organized!) that it must've required so much work. What an amazing, peaceful space to enjoy in the spring and summer!

  15. well weeded! I would be afraid of not keeping it up. How about using perennials so it comes back every year? The green of the parsley is certainly lush....handy for dinner too....
