I'd add some pollinator plants and winter interest.
Pollinators.ie has lots of great resources for planting inspiration.
Herb wise, mint spreads like a 🤬 and rosemary and bay can get huge, but just go for what grows otherwise?
Or you can do themes, like
Savoury (chives, garlic etc)
Tea (Chamomile, mint,l
Spicy (hot peppers)
Fragrance and soap (lavender, soap verbena, bedstraw...) -
herb garden planning inspo
I reckon you want to get round the charity shops to look for books and maybe visit some formal gardens.
Ultimately I think the thing that makes it is symmetry if you want something formal, or big swathes for something more cottagey.

Anyone have herb garden planning inspo? Thinking of doing something like this at the allotment, circular hang out area in the middle and then 4 curvy L shaped beds, a rose in each one plus mostly evergreen or perennial herbs and a handful of herb-adjacent perennials (monarda, agastache etc)
