Designing my first plant guild ever - with a heavy focus on sleep and dream medicinals

Hello;

I am learning more and more about permaculture, and more recently I read about guilds. So I plan to make one such guild for next year, as most of the plants that I'd put in there are already in the ground, and some are missing from my seed collection.

My plan is to dedicate this guild to medicinal herbs that help with sleeping and dreaming. Maybe there are better ways to do this, so that's why I'm asking this here.

I plan to have a trellis set up, so that hops can grow on it, and have plants such as artemis annua, tegetes lucida, matricaria recutita, holy basil and eschcholzia.

But how should I set up the trellis ? Should it be facing est/west, so that its shadow do not make less room for other plants behind it, or would it need to be facing north/south ?

Would those plants fit together ? Space wise it should be ok, but are there any allelopathic one that would hinder growth ? Would I need to have something else to put nitrogen in the soil ?

I live in a 8a zone, so some plants are not possible. But if you know any other plants either related with sleeping or dreaming, or that would fit better so that they all fare well, I'm all eyes.

That sounds like an awesome guild, Mike! Please update as you develop it; I'll be following.

Depending on the microclimate, clary sage (Salvia sclarea) might be a good addition. Its traditional uses definitely include dreamwork. It'll probably want at least half-sun and well-drained soil, but otherwise shouldn't be fussy.

Great idea! Really good to get into one problem. Many suffer from imperfect sleep. I wouldnt know about guilds, i doubt anybody knows. Did you think of skullcap? Valerian? Griffonia simplicifonia, melissa officinalis, passiflora. A cushion of lavender.
There are all sorts of problems with sleep. Different herbs tackle different problems.
Some people experience fears, others overthinking, restless legs, falling asleep or keep waking up a lot, some have hartpalpatations , depression and even exhaustion can be the cause.
