Raised herb garden

I am planning a raised herb garden this year and wonder what plants/ flowers would make good companions?

marigolds the old fashion sort,nastursiums,comfrey(although this can be big and take over useful if kept in check) lavender,rosemary,fennel(greenor bronze)borage,could go on but it depends how big your herb bed is going to be.

I recomment using herbs you want to use for cooking like: basil, chives, Coriander or Dill.

I have a small raised herb bed near the back door and have chives, parsley,sage,dill,Rosemary( in pot) Mint (in pot) in fact squash as much as possible into it!

Woody mediterraneun herbs like thyme, sage and rosemary don't need lots of watering. Soft green herbs like chives, parsley, basil, dill, French tarragon and coriander will need more water. If you grow mint put it in a pot and plant the pot as it's a bit of a thug. I think if you want comfrey I would plant it elsewhere, not in a herb bed. It's very vigourous and the roots are very deep. You could plant edible flowers too like nasturtiums, calendulas, pansies, borage and cornflowers. The blue flowers of borage are pretty in ice cubes.
