What is a Kitchen Herb Garden?

A kitchen herb garden, a curated collection of culinary herbs grown within easy reach, inspires you to routinely incorporate fresh herbs into your cooking, enhancing flavors and making everyday meals extraordinary. Popular choices include basil, dill, sage, and parsley. Many herbs, like thyme, offer additional benefits, such as medicinal or aromatherapy uses.

Ideally, a kitchen herb garden is readily available and used daily, so closeness to your kitchen is key. It can be a small assortment of pots near your door, on a windowsill, or on your deck or balcony. Most incorporate various herbs in a compact space, enabling you to routinely use fresh herbs while cooking. Convenience encourages experimentation and diverse use in your daily cooking. 

Why Grow Herbs?

Flavor is the primary reason for growing herbs instead of buying them. Gardening and cooking are deeply intertwined, and nothing compares to the satisfaction of reaching for fresh rosemary and thyme while preparing a delicious meal. Alternatively, open your spice cabinet to find homegrown dried herbs bursting with flavor far superior to store-bought options. Even a pinch of a single herb can transform a dish from tasty to extraordinary. Many cooks and gardeners only realize what they're missing once they taste the incredible difference fresh herbs can make!

Starting Your Kitchen Herb Garden

Plant your kitchen herb garden outdoors or indoors in pots, containers, window boxes, or on a deck. Herbs are excellent choices for balcony gardens and apartments with limited space. Use separate pots or group herbs with similar soil moisture needs in containers. Mediterranean herbs like thyme thrive in well-draining soil and light to moderate moisture, while basil prefers consistently moist soil.

Herbs are simple to grow, requiring minimal space, attention, or rich soil. They flourish in surprisingly small areas, making almost any location suitable—from a garden spot to a kitchen windowsill or a couple of planters on your back step.
