Recently I ran out of course turf (colour burnt grass). I was wodering what to do until I saw some sage (a spice) on the counter of the kitchen. It was the perfect colour but not texture. But, I have finished the vegetation on the front side of the railway so texture didn’t bother me too much. I applyed it like fine turf and Bob’s You’re Uncle (no, seriously, chech if you have an uncle or great uncle named bob). It even smelles nice now.
Vuzzez: My only concern is that, in my experience, old herbs tend to turn a pale yellow/gray colour over time. That might not be too much of a problem if the faded colour suits your scene. You could always apply a little colour in the future if need be.

Who DOES’T have an Uncle Bob? I got two, LOL.
Intriguing idea, however, what about the potential for some of the insects that are attracted to and feed on various types of herbs?
I think you can a few drops of Lysol to whatever you use to glue it down. But I’m confused. Why use herbs; on a per pound basis they are far more expensive than groundfoam.

It is not a new idea. But it is an idea many have tried only to find it fails.
I have to say I agree with the satement that it will fade. The color may be right for right now, but my experience in growing and drying herbs is that they will fade over time and you won’t like the look later on. {I don’t use them on my layout, and every year I “refresh” my herb stock form hte garden.}
