Herb gardens

A tree died in my garden and I'd like to fill its place with a dedicated herb garden so I'm looking for inspiration:

Do you have a dedicated herb garden and if so what is in it?

What herbs do you get the best use out of in your kitchen?

Currently I have garlic chives in a pot with some fairly unhappy dill, I have far more sage than I can use, mint in a pot outside which gets rust half way through the summer and an endless production line of seed grown- and supermarket coriander in ugly plastic pots everywhere. Oh an a rosemary in one of the flower beds which was sulking in too much shade. I have little pots on kitchen window sill for thyme, mint and basil but it feels like plant cruelty a little bit.

Do you grow more unusual things like lovage, winter savory, angelica etc and if so, how much do you use them?

SeaRabbit is your Broadleaf thyme outside in the UK? Might try mine outside if so, I thought it would be too cold for it.
