St. Fiacre

Knot Garden

A Knot Garden, at the center of the Herb Garden as is traditional, contains a statue of St. Fiacre (fee-a-kur), the patron saint of gardeners. Four overlapping circles with contrasting plants such as germander (Teucrium chamaedrys), sage (Salvia officinalis), and Dwarf False Cypress form the bed.  At the four corners of the Knot Garden, again based on tradition, you will find the Culinary, Medicinal, Dye, and Fragrance Beds.
