🌿 How to Start a Mini Herb Garden at Home

There’s something magical about stepping into your kitchen and picking fresh herbs from your very own mini garden. Whether you’re cooking, making tea, or just enjoying the scent of basil in the morning light, growing herbs at home adds a little everyday joy—and it’s easier than you think.

Why Start Small?

You don’t need a backyard or a fancy greenhouse. A few pots, a sunny ledge, and a little patience are all it takes. Plus, growing herbs in small containers is ideal for beginners—they’re low-maintenance, fast-growing, and instantly useful.

What You’ll Need:

• 2–3 flower pots (our 5.5” and 6.5” recycled pots are ideal for herbs)
• Organic potting soil (herbs like well-draining soil)
• Herb seeds or small seedlings (basil, mint, thyme, parsley, chives)
• Access to sunlight—ideally 4–6 hours/day

Step-by-Step:

1. Fill your pots with fresh soil, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
2. Plant seeds according to the packet instructions, or gently transplant your seedlings.
3. Water lightly after planting, and keep soil evenly moist—but not soggy.
4. Place your pots in a warm, sunny spot (a windowsill or balcony works great).
5. Harvest often—snipping the tops encourages bushier growth.

Pro Tips:

• Group herbs with similar needs (e.g., basil and parsley like more water than rosemary).
• Mint spreads aggressively—give it a pot of its own!
• Label your herbs so you don’t mix them up while they’re still tiny.

Creating your own herb garden is more than growing—it’s about connecting with what you eat, and making your space a little more alive. And when it’s done in sustainable pots? Even better.
