You need more than a quick answer but I can make some suggestions on where to look for information. Depending on the level of your ambition you could fence the herb garden with espaliered fruit trees. You can grow simple plots in raised beds or a full garden estate like the French chateuax of Villandry or a cottage style garden designed for use as well as pleasure.

Fruit can be anything from ground hugging strawberries and dwarf blueberries like 'Top Hat' through dwarf, espaliered fruit trees up to standard fruit trees.

You need to find out what grows in your zone. A local nursery will give you the best head start, as they grow and sell what thrives in your area
They could be planted together but I wouldnt do it. You could end up accidentaly pulling up your herbs. Just stick with fruit.
