The quadrant garden design is very old, but also very popular way to display herbs. It is a simple square or rectangular space with paths cutting the area into four equal parts. This garden design usually, outline each of the four equal parts with a fence and the perimeter boarders inside each fence is planted with perennial herbs such as lavender, chives, mints, lemon balm or thyme.

The inner squares are used to grow annual herbs such as parsley, basil, chervil or chamomile. These can be rotated with deferent herb beds each year.

Very small spaces can be effectively planted using a guardant plan. The design was very popular with Colonial gardens.
A quadrant garden can be rather plain in design. However, it can be decorated, by using color paving for the paths and by placing an ornament such as a Sun Clock in the center of the garden, and transform it into a head turning herb garden.
