 
Fresh herb bouquets are a colorful and aromatic way to brighten your kitchen! There are many combinations of herbs that can be used to make these beautiful bunches. Read on for a few tips and ideas for creating your own perfect centerpiece, that doubles as a ready-to-use assortment for cooking.
- Basil is an excellent place to start: allow flowers to develop, then cut stems to include flowers and foliage.
- Lavender incorporates well into any bouquet, bringing with it an irresistible scent and lovely long blooms. Lavender will also make other flowers feel at home in the mix, should you want to add a few pansies or violets.
- Thyme, oregano, sage flowers, and rosemary are some essentials to include in the body of your arrangement.
- Dill, parsley, and fennel make great fillers and add texture, shape, and a burst of color to the bouquet.
- Try using flowered garlic chives as a finishing touch. The small, white blossoms add a baby’s breath effect.
- Simply cut selected herbs and flowers to the desired height, arrange, and place in your favorite vase. For a touch of country, try using a large mason jar.
Once your bouquet has lived out its purpose, you can dry it for continued culinary enjoyment.
