In ancient Rome, kitchens were an integral part of the household, and some kitchens featured a built-in indoor desert succulent garden with a sand garden. This innovative design allowed the Romans to have easy access to fresh herbs and spices right in their kitchen. The succulent plants not only added a touch of greenery to the space but also provided a variety of flavors to enhance their culinary creations. The sand garden helped maintain the ideal humidity levels, ensuring that the ingredients stayed fresh for longer periods.
