gardenmermaid,
It's funny you should mention sweet woodruff, it was probably the first plant I added to my shade garden and then have fought yearly to remove because it crowded out all the lovely delicate native ephemerals I came to appreciate. But it would be a better choice in the herb garden and a pretty addition there.
I also have 3 lovely blue cohosh plants in my woodland shade garden that I could divide, I will have to check on whether or not that one is poisonous. I believe the black cohosh is. ? I allow all plants into the herb garden unless they are poisonous just in case.
The French tarragon is another plant I had for awhile and forgot about but would work well.
The goldenseal is a very interesting possibility I'd like to research further and use, if not in this spot in my woodland garden. Do you grow this plant?

zhinu, Thanks for the warning, I know the rampant growth mint can produce and the unfortunate habit it has of
dwindling to a scrawny specimen in the pot I place it to control it, all the time sneaking out runners to the garden.

cando, I have used the golden oregano in my front flower garden as a ground cover edging plant in a sunny spot. I can move a bit over to the herb garden and see if it will tolerate the shade. I also have a lovely green and white oregano.

What good suggestions, I was completely drawing a blank and really appreciate the help.

I thought you might enjoy seeing what was there before the revision. Bronze and green fennel, anise hyssop, costmary, and kale are all growing at the sunny edge under the grapes. All self seeded.
