Helllo Leftie and welcome to the Vine. I freeze my herbs rather than dry them as they keep their flavour much better. Just prepare your herbs as you want to use them (chopped up) . Spread them out in a layer on a tray and put the tray in the freezer. (Called open freezing). When the herbs are frozen, put them in a freezer box. They keep wonderfully well and come out freeflow - you can just take the box out and spoon out the amount you want and put the box back in the freezer, but do this quickly as they defrost very quickly.
The herbs are no use for garnishes, but excellent for cooking. Enjoy.
