Hi Worth (and all!)

I've seen posts where you mention landscaping with herbs like rosemary and bay laurel, even. I am curious and would like to know more! You see, we just moved into a house that has the crappiest little mismatched shrubs out front. I don't really care, but my husband hates it and has been pestering me to come up with some alternative to dress up the front of the house. Has to be neat, preferably low maintenance....and evergreen.

It occurred to me that neatly trimmmed rosemary bushes might do well, depending on the variety...and in another thread you mentioned bay laurel being a good "southern landscape" plant.I like the idea of useful plants used for decorative purposes! Would these herbs survive in zone 7 and do well? Are there any others?

Thanks in advance for any tips and/or ideas!

Jennifer
