Useful Border

It is looking a little overgrown in this pre-pruned, winter photo (taken Feb. 14), but this border along the driveway used to be plain lawn two years ago (the large shrubs in the background are very old buxus and camelia plants).
Now the area serves a variety of purposes with lavender (2 different types), leeks, rosemary, strawberries, korean mint agastache rugosa (good for tea and bees love the flowers), hollyhocks (good for petal tea).
No mowing required and most of the plants are drought tolerant.
