Put this farmhouse style kitchen herb garden together in minutes! Includes free printable herb garden tags.
About this time every year, I get the itch to work outside. To get my hands dirty. To clean up my garden beds. To figure out if any plants need replaced and dream about the new ones I want to try. The problem is that here in Ohio, it’s just a bit too early for any of that. So, like last year, I planted an indoor kitchen herb garden and thoroughly enjoyed getting my fingers in the dirt.

I was planning to go to a local nursery or Lowe’s, but was able to find beautiful herb plants at my grocery store in the produce section.
It took about five minutes to transfer the herbs from their plastic pots to the metal buckets. I was planning on putting small rocks in the bottom of the buckets to allow for drainage, but I lucked out. There was one perfect hole already drilled in the bottom of the buckets. If I happen to over-water just a bit, the water will drain right into the little tray.
No herb garden is complete without plant markers. I shared some last year with my Indoor Mason Jar Herb Garden so I just printed off another sheet. Clipping them to the buckets with clothespins was the finishing touch.

A kitchen herb garden is a way to hurry spring along and add some fresh greenery to your counter top or windowsill. You don’t need metal buckets either. Any containers will work. Mason jars, terra cotta pots, large coffee mugs, lined wicker baskets or small coffee cans. Just make sure to add rocks for drainage if your container doesn’t have a hole in the bottom.
Thank you so much for stopping
by and hanging out with me!
