A long time since I've posted, so Hello everyone! Hope you're all well & wonderful
If this has been dealt with in the past, please link for me (I couldn't find anything) - otherwise ...
Herbs to grow on the edge/marginal shelves of a small-ish pond. Apparently, Vietnamese Coriander is a good one and the metha aquatica thug! - any other suggestions, please?

if you have flowing water and the space, then water cress but like the mint also a thug.

Good thought, Andrew, thanks.
I tried water cress a couple of years ago, SBG - didn't work out well! Now I grow land cress in the waterfall border (Sounds posh! It isn't!!) and it seems to like the high humidity and 50% shade. AND it's fairly hardy AND it self-seeds so I reckon I'm onto a winner with it.
Thanks, Both

Acorus calamus (sweet flag) was a strewing herb - the leaves give off a pleasant aroma when bruised. An oil, used in perfumery, is also extracted from the rhizome
