How about growing pots? Many herbs do well and pots can be moved around when needed. Just be sure to water often as pots dry out faster than in ground, especially in summer.

For either solution, first know herbs need LOTS of light and most like warm temps. Some herbs (rosemary, basil and sage are a few) require a lot of room. BUT some herbs also come in miniature versions.

They can tell you a lot.
Pots, wooden or plastic planter boxes. If your not keen on plastic boxes paint them. Just make sure to have hole for drainage
