Fresh herbs are a great way to add flavor to practically every meal you prepare, but they aren’t always easy to find and can be expensive. Growing your own herbs is one way to always have the flavors you want without going to the grocery store. You don’t have to be a seasoned gardener to start your own herb garden. If your outdoor landscape<\/a> doesn’t provide you with garden space, you can even grow herbs inside your home and enjoy the bounty. This guide will help you find the supplies you need to get started and provide easy instructions to teach you how to grow an indoor herb garden.<\/p>\n

Supplies for Your Indoor Herb Garden<\/h2>\n

When you plan your herb garden, it’s important to have all the supplies you’ll need to cultivate healthy plants. Each plant will need a container, healthy soil, and plant food to encourage growth. You can invest in an herb garden kit if you want to have almost everything in one place, but you may already have a lot of the supplies you need to get started. This supply list will help you gather all the supplies you need to create your indoor herb garden.<\/p>\n

Seeds or Plants<\/h3>\n

Start with one or two different types of herbs if you want to start small. Many herbs, especially if you plan to keep them indoors, can be started at any time during the year; many varieties also grow year-round. This means you can add more indoor plants as you see fit without worrying about missing the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Should I use seeds or plants to grow herbs indoors?<\/h4>\n

If you’re a beginner or you hope to see results quickly, starting with plants may yield the best success. If you’ve grown plants from seeds in the past and you have a green thumb, you’ll likely find many herbs germinate easily indoors. Seeds may take up to two weeks to germinate.<\/p>\n

Seeds are often least expensive, but small plants called seedlings may be easier to grow. If you want to start enjoying fresh herbs faster, then seedlings and established plants jumpstart the growth timeline. Plants also require fewer rounds of transplanting. However, buying packets of seeds allows you to choose when you start your indoor garden. It also means you can browse for heirloom varieties and rare herbs that may not be available in your local plant nursery.<\/p>\n

Planters, Herb Pots, or Containers<\/h3>\n

There are a variety of containers you can choose from to create an attractive indoor herb garden. Choose based on the size of your plants and the size of your garden space. Some planters and containers can hook onto a wall, which is ideal if you have a small kitchen or want to save your counter space. You can also look for herb pots that match your kitchen decor.<\/p>\n

Trays to Catch Drainage<\/h3>\n

Well-drained soil is vital for healthy herbs, and a saucer or tray is equally important for catching excess water.<\/p>\n
