46 Indoor Herb Garden Ideas That Will Inspire You to Start Planting

Who doesn’t love using fresh herbs for dinner? Everyone that I know does!

Herbs are great because they can easily be grown indoors and don’t take too much maintenance to keep them happy. But where to grow them? That’s where this article comes in!

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme grow happily in old wooden boxes, in recycled bottles, in glass mason jars, and even in used tin cans. You can grow them vertically on the wall, or dedicate a spot for them right on your dining room table.

Your house will smell great, your food will taste better, and you will love taking care of your indoor herb garden.
