Sage Bed

Raised bed herb garden…plant spacing…?
How close together can I plant herbs in a raised bed? I know one of the advantages to a raised bed garden is that things can be grown closer together, but I don’t know how much closer. I want to grow things like sage, parsley, oregano, marjoram, basil, rosemary, etc….
Much of it would depend on the size of your raised bed, and whether you’re growing herbs for culinary use or as ornamentals. From the herbs you listed, I would allow the most space for the sage plant. Sage is a relatively slow-growing woody perenniel shrub, so the first year you can plant annual herbs quite close to it. After a few seasons it will require more room. My sage came in a pitiful 3″ pot, but over the next 15 years it’s grown to over 3 feet wide. If you harvest the leaves and give it an ocassional trim, it will probably stay smaller for your space.
Rosemary also likes a bit of room, maybe 10″ (or more if it’s perenniel in your Zone). I’m in zone 5, so my rosemary only lasts the one season and I usually just crowd it in with the annual herbs.
Oregano and Marjoram would be happy near the edge of the raised bed since they both like to spill over into adjacent territories, and you would be saving space by allowing them to cascade over the edge of the bed. (This also keep the Marjoram leaves cleaner, with fewer mud splatters to rinse off).
Common Basil would probably tolerate a 5-6″ spacing. Try harvesting the new growth shoots often to encourage more branching.
Parsley can be tucked away into just about any space that’s left. Since it’s bienniel, the best leaf growth will be the first year (the second year it just goes to seed).
I you have any room left, try a few other short season herbs such as Dill or Coriander (cilantro). These are both easy to start from seed and can be used to fill in the spaces until your other plants mature.
