As you all most likely know by now, container gardening is a passion of mine. I love everything about it from finding the container, to choosing the plants and finally watching those plants grow. My all time favorite thing to grow in containers is herbs. About this time each year, I come up with a new and different way to plant my herbs. I don’t always start from scratch but I try to vary the containers and even sometimes the plants. Here are some DIY Container Herb Garden ideas that are budget-friendly and easy to maintain. Click the images or the links for more information on each idea.

The thing about herbs that so great is that they can be grown, successfully, indoors. I just planted a mason jar herb garden and it is growing like crazy! Check it out by clicking the image below.

Herbs are used, of course, for culinary purposes but they offer so much more. Some herbs have actual healing qualities. I’ve put together a short list of herbs that are easy to grow (in the ground or in containers) and that can also help us feel better. You’ll never believe how I use Rosemary to soothe tired muscles!

Thank you for stopping by…I hope you’ve been inspired to plant your herbs!

Thursday, May 12, 2016 at 4:01 pmThis blog is so timely. I have been wondering about using items for my herb growing on my deck as my herb garden as our kitty and dog dug up the ones I planted last year. Yes, I tried to keep them out, but is easier to put in pots and such than try to keep them out ( the sprays I made up really didn’t repel them lol) so will use some on your ideas and plant on decks and patios.

Friday, May 13, 2016 at 9:18 amHi Linda! I got those pots at Lowe’s several years ago. They may still have them but I am not sure. There is a link in the original post that leads to a very similar pot. You can see it here:(It’s towards the end.)
