A garden?

It would be interesting to know what herbs they regarded as medicinal.

There are some ancient remedies and such that have survived in texts. There’s a variety of basil called “holy basil” that is found in proximity to a number of these ancient temples, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they grew it because of the scent, and maybe for cooking, but I’m not sure there’s any documentary evidence for that one. :’)
