Grill-side Herbs

It doesn't get much easier or fresher than keeping a handy display of herbs close by your barbecue. You can clip off an herb in seconds to add to marinades, rubs, or to place directly on the grill to infuse flavour. Adjust the length of board to accommodate all of your favourite herbs, or stack boards to create a vertical arrangement. Choose a stain to match your décor, and use coloured marbles for a festive flair. You'll be preparing culinary cuisine in no time!
