The thought of designing a back-yard herb garden has taken hold in our "modern homestead". We have the space, the full sun and the sand for great drainage. We have our graph paper and can attest that after you plot good strong paths and water feature, fountain, etc. The square and rectangular herb beds are now coming to the fold (i.e. meaning to become visible) as the paths are nailed down.
Start with a long allee which runs from one path end-point to the other down the length of your finest open space / lawn.
You may want to have a folly... or other landscape feature, like a wooden bench, positioned at both ends for herb garden interest.
Next find the midpoint and try and create another axial perpendicular path left and right off of the long allee.
