Beyond the practicality of having readily available fresh ingredients, herb pots can introduce a dash of nature into your culinary sanctuary. Here are some ideas on how to make your own kitchen herb garden come to life:

 

Hanging Planters

Opt for small hanging pots that are designed to hold herb plants. These can come in various materials, such as ceramic, metal, or woven baskets. Ensure they have drainage holes to prevent overwatering. Ideally, hang them at a spot in your kitchen that receives a good amount of natural light. 

Consider the visual arrangement of your hanging herb pots. You can hang them in a linear pattern, create a tiered effect, or even mix in some trailing herb plants, such as the Creeping Red Thyme, for added beauty. The arrangement can be created to complement your kitchen's aesthetics.

 

A Living Herb Wall

A living wall herb garden not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a touch of greenery and vibrancy to your kitchen space. It's a living display that brings nature indoors and provides you with a convenient and fresh source of herbs for your cooking.

It is important to choose a suitable location in your kitchen where the living wall can receive adequate sunlight or artificial light, depending on the herb varieties you plan to grow. Install a sturdy framework that will support the weight of the herb plants, soil, and water with waterproof backing to protect your wall from moisture. There are plenty of options to choose from, such as modular vertical gardening systems, pocketed panels, or custom-built frames. 

When planting, make sure to arrange the herb plants strategically, considering factors like height, growth habits, and colour variation. Taller herbs, such as Rosemary, can be placed at the top of the wall while trailing or cascading varieties can be positioned toward the bottom.

 

Upcycled Pots

Upcycling is a brilliant way of repurposing discarded or unused items to extend their lifespan. Creating a kitchen herb garden using upcycled pots is a sustainable and creative way to add fresh flavours to your culinary adventures while contributing positively to the environment. 

Experiment with different pots of varying sizes and materials, such as old tea tins and tin cans, to wooden boxes or ceramic containers. Make sure you add a layer of gravel or small stones at the bottom of each pot for drainage. This will help prevent water from accumulating and causing root rot. If you wish to add a personal touch to your upcycled pot herb garden, try painting the pots with vibrant colours that match the style of your kitchen and the shade of blooms.

 

Wooden Windowsill Boxes

These charming rustic herb pots offer an easy way to introduce a hint of fragrance and lush greenery to your kitchen windowsill. The key is to choose wooden boxes that fit comfortably on your kitchen windowsill with proper drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

It is important to pick a sunny windowsill that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Many herbs e. g. Oregano tend to thrive in sunlight, so a south or west-facing window is ideal. Rotate the boxes occasionally to ensure all sides of the herbs receive equal sunlight and grow uniformly.

 

Boho Macramé Rope

Creating a kitchen herb garden using macramé rope can be a fantastic practical project that brings a touch of nature and trendy boho charm into your culinary space. Macramé, a knotting cord or rope technique to create various patterns, lends itself beautifully to crafting plant hangers, making it an ideal choice for showcasing your favourite herbs.

You can purchase some ready-made ones with hooks or choose to make your own. Consider hanging an ornamental herb like Tricolour Sage in macramé roping for a decorative effect.
