How did you choose your varieties? Was it more of the type you like or what was more hearty to your area?

Here's the back story:
In 1992 my sister planted an herb garden with 125 different herbs around my house then promptly moved to NM and never came back. In the first years, many died out. There are about 50 that have survived.
When I started the New Herb garden in 2016, it was to grow lots of the things I use for the layers in winter. But this year I decided to try to grow some of the ones that had died from my sister's garden. So it's a combination of layer needs and regrowing ones I'd not had for years to see if they'd do better in another location.
I know lavender won't survive here, but I planted a little anyways.
