How To Start an Indoor Herb Garden
Thinking of starting an indoor herb garden? Growing your own herbs at home is an excellent way to have access to fresh, organic herbs whenever you want them. An herb garden can also serve as a statement piece, lending a healthy splash of green to your kitchen, living room, or wherever else you decide to keep it. As a bonus: it’s quite easy to get started with and maintain, even if you don’t always have a ton of luck with plants.
There are a lot of benefits to growing an indoor herb garden beyond just the obvious. Herbs release natural aromatic oils that help keep your home smelling nice, and it’s a lot more affordable to grow your own herbal favorites than to purchase them from the store. (Plus, no more feeling bad about tossing unused herbs when you inevitably can’t get through them all.) And growing your herb garden inside instead of outside means that you can keep it going year round, since you don’t have to worry about freezing temperatures or snow.
