Beginner’s Guide to Growing Herbs

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.
