Tips for Growing an Herb Garden
If you want to grow a garden indoors, a good place to start is with herbs. These plants take up very little room, are relatively easy to look after, and grow quickly.
They’re also ideal for bringing nature into your kitchen and make for wonderfully flavored food!
Here are some tips for growing your own:
- Choose plant pots that have good drainage and set them on a dish to avoid damp counters
- Make sure you pick the right pots for your herbs
- Water 2-3 times a week, watering slowly to allow time for the soil to absorb the moisture
- Place your herbs in a window to give them plenty of direct sunlight (they need around 6-8 hours a day!)
