Herbs and flowers MIGHT require quite different care, soil, nutrients,
and water. Many flowers require ample nutrients and constant moisture.
Many herbs thrive with a lean and dry soil with not many nutrients and
only slight moisture. On the other hand, some herbs require abundant
moisture; and some flowers refuse to bloom with too many nutrients.
Finally, some plants are shallow-rooted while others are deep-rooted.

Let us know what herbs and what flowers you want to plant.
