Grow Fresh Herbs Year-Round With These Indoor Gardens

You can grow up to 10 small, non-GMO herbs on your windowsill with this all-inclusive kit, including oregano, sage, chia, and more. The coolest part? The seeds are infused in a small soil puck that will expand when you add water.

If you’re just looking to grow one specific herb, all you really need is a small pot, soil, and some seeds. This kit comes with all of the above plus an herb stripper, so you can reap what you sow after your herbs have matured.

What if creating a garden was as easy as brewing coffee from a pod? With Click and Grow, that’s the whole idea. Simply pop the biodegradable pods in the garden, add water, and watch your herbs thrive. For those who forget to water your plant babies, you can download the Click and Grow app to receive push notifications when it’s time to water or fertilize, and you can learn more about the herbs you’re growing.

City dwellers will appreciate this low-effort vertical garden, which only takes up two square feet of floor space. You fill the base with water and nutrients, and then the system self-circulates them so that each plant gets what it needs. It’s pretty self-sufficient if your place has natural lighting, but if in a shady area you can add grow lights for an additional cost. While the smallest unit holds 12 plants, you can grow up to 36 if you choose to upgrade to a larger size. 

No soil, no problem. This water-based system can grow up to six plants at one time, all without a growing medium. A mixture of water and fertilizer circulates around the plants’ roots, giving them the food they need, while built-in lights simulate sunlight. There are even built-in reminders that let you know when it’s time for more water or fertilizer, so you don’t have to think about it.

Think your countertop could turn into your own urban garden? With this micro hydroponic system, you can have meal-ready herbs in just a few weeks. The kit comes with a small “grow house”, attached grow lights, and four easy-to-assemble seed pods. Simply fill the base with water and you’re good to go for three weeks before you need to refill it.

Sourcing seeds, gathering supplies, and ensuring you have the right pots or planters for seedlings is time consuming and sometimes confusing. To take the guesswork out of starting your own herb garden, purchase a kit like this. Each Mason jar planter comes with seeds, soil, a planter, and plant food, so you’re all set from the second you receive the kit. 

For those who already have plants started, having a designated space to put all your babies will make taking care of them even easier. These stackable frames have bright grow lights on the inside that mimic natural sunlight, ensuring that the seedlings below get enough light to photosynthesize. And if you don’t want to grow herbs, you can put succulents or small flowers in the frames, too.

Perhaps the easiest way to start your own herb garden is to already have the herbs grown before you buy it. This adorable arrangement comes with mature herbs that you can continue to tend to. It’s a bonus that the garden stand display they come in looks adorable, too.
