Herb gardens can be any shape or size, indoors or out; it all depends on the space you have available and how many herbs you’d like to grow.
Whether it’s out in the garden or inside your own personal potting shed, we’ve collected a range of ideas to help you create your own herb garden, from a small kitchen herb garden to planters and beyond.
Let’s jump in!
1 – Wooden Container Herb Garden
Partition your herbs into their own cube beds so you don’t confuse your basil for coriander! For even more growing space, explore our three tier planter.
3 – Wood Pallet Garden
Give an old wooden pallet a second chance at life by turning it into a small, vertical herb garden. You could even hang it on the wall!
4 – Indoor Jar Garden
If you’re short on outdoor space for growing plants, you could recycle your old jars to use as indoor plant pots. That way your herbs are on hand when you want to use them in your recipes!
6 – Hanging Pots
If you only have space indoors for your herb garden, design your own ‘hanging’ garden using planks and cables. This not only saves space but also brings some colour to a plain wall.
15 – Cedar Tiered Herb Garden
Tiered trough planters could be used inside or out for a great space-saving herb garden.
20 – Vertical Stacked Planters
All in one! Don’t take up more space than you need to; plant your herbs on the borders of the planters and stack them!
21 – Tabletop Portable Garden
Pop your herb jars in a small caddy so they can be easily moved around.
22 – Old Cans
Add pops of colour to your garden with an array of coloured plant pots. You could even paint your pallet to give your pots a more distinguished backdrop.
24 – Herbs in Cups
Give those traditional cups and saucers a new lease of life – they make very elegant planters!
26 – All-in-One Pot
Keep it simple with a miniature herb garden, all in one pot! Perfect for balconies or small yards where space is a precious commodity.
27 – Tin Can Herb Garden
A huge garden is a huge responsibility. Keep things small and manageable by using old tins as indoor plant pots. Just be sure to wash them out first!
28 – Wagon Wheel Herb Garden
Give an old wagon wheel a second life by planting some flowers and herbs inside.
30 – Small Wall Sacks
You don’t even need pots or planters to grow your herbs. Use your imagination!
39 – Recycled Wine Boxes
Old wine cases make great planters for your herb garden and won’t cost you the earth!
Round-Up
Herbs are great for beginner gardeners as they’re easy to grow and they take very little effort to get started. Plus you won’t have to buy them from the supermarket anymore, just trim them from your own herb garden!
Hopefully, we’ve provided some useful ideas for planting your own herbs using the space you have to spare.
