How much space they occupy in your garden? You can buy a book that can give you accurate information about specific plants you are planning to grow.
List or draw your garden on paper first. Separate the annuals from the perennials so when the time comes that you have to take annual plants, not disturbing the perennials. Perennials can be planted on the edge of your garden for when it comes time to cultivate your garden, you will have a difficult time.

You can consider a square herb bed. You can have your square bed divided into four by two paths crossing at mid point measuring 3 feet. Maybe the border with stone or brick. A wooden ladder may also do the trick. You can put it in the garden and plant herbs between its rungs. You can also choose to have a wagon wheel bed. Planting here is like planting with the wooden stairs. Plant your herbs in wedges of the wagon wheel.
