The bright green shoots of new vegetables and herbs are seen in rows of dark brown earth. The stone wall that surrounds the garden is low enough to let in the warm sun. A basket has been left near the wall for gathering items for meals.

I am a servant in a large house. I clean dishes and help the rich people get dressed. I live under the house in a cozy little room and I have lots to eat. My job is pretty good.
Hello, Your Highness! What brings you to the garden today? Hello. I just wanted to get out and enjoy this nice weather by going for a walk. Are you gathering items for a meal? I am, indeed. The cook has asked me to fill the basket with a variety of herbs. He's making a special stew and some fresh bread tonight. Oh that sounds lovely. Would you like some help? I enjoy picking herbs in the garden! I would love your help. Please, let me give you a basket. Feel free to pick anything you desire. Here- when you pick something, you can crush it with your fingers and bring it to your nose to smell the fragrance. Lovely! Thank you. I do enjoy smelling fresh herbs. Are you looking for any in particular today?
