Growing herbs is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to connect with plants.
Start Small
Choose 3–5 herbs you actually use: basil, rosemary, mint, thyme, and chives are great starters.
Sunlight Matters
Most herbs love 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. A bright window or sunny patio works well.
Don’t Overwater
Herbs prefer slightly dry soil rather than constantly wet roots.
Containers vs. Ground
Mint should almost always be grown in containers to prevent takeover.
Harvest Often
Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.
Easy Starter Herbs:
Basil, chives, thyme, mint, oregano, parsley.
Bonus Tip:
Morning harvest = best aroma.
