The single curse of becoming part of Hyde Hall is that a garden's magic can be lost with familiarity. One small and very special place in which this will never happen is the Herb Garden, due to its completely fantastical plants which appear to have wandered out of the pages of a Roald Dahl book and into reality.
These plants include:
-Strawberry Mint
-Grapefruit Mint
-Black Peppermint
-Basil Mint
-Blackcurrant Sage
-Orange-scented Thyme
-Lemon Variegated Thyme
...and yes, they really do smell like their names suggest! The Strawberry Mint is particularly eyebrow-raising.
