Wouldn’t it be great if you could start cooking with fresh herbs? Whenever a recipe calls for lemon balm, parsley, or chives, you just head out to your kitchen herb garden and pick what you need. Each dish will turn out more flavorful, and you’ll be able to enjoy the fresh scents of growing herbs.
You don’t have to commit to a full-sized kitchen garden, though. You could have a small indoor herb garden kit that sits neatly on your windowsill. Check out these herb garden ideas and see how you can start growing your own culinary herb plants.
1. Backyard Herb Garden Ideas
Some herbs thrive when they’re outside in your backyard. These are hardy herbs that can handle the changing seasons and cold weather. These include lavender and rosemary. If left to grow on their own, both can reach several feet in size. If you want to create an herb garden in your backyard, consider how large your herb plants will grow. Keep the larger ones to the back and the small ones to the front. This will make it easier to harvest what you need.

Herb plants are also beautiful, so why not turn your herb garden into an actual garden? Several perennial herbs, like the lemon verbena, have beautiful flowers that will last throughout the spring and summer season. You could have a small sitting area and a brick or paver path leading to it. You’ll be able to sit outside and enjoy the natural perfume of your herb plants. You could create some cute little signs that label each herb to stake into your garden. Then anyone will be able to tell what each herb is when admiring your garden.
