As I learn my way around the kitchen more and more, I find myself recognizing and appreciating fresh herbs in so many food dishes and cocktail recipes. But of course, I remember to pick up fresh herbs at the grocery probably every other, other time I’m there. After stopping by the Nashville Antiques and Garden Show last weekend, I’ve got greenery on the brain, and I decided it’s about time I plant an indoor herb garden of my own. 

As we learned last year, planting and growing an indoor herb garden is easier than one would think (yes, even for those of us without a green thumb!).  In our original post, you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial in the slideshow for growing your own indoor herb garden. Remember to handle the herbs with care as you move them from store containers to your planters (we’re obsessed with any and all from Anthropologie and Terrain). You’ll want to gently break up the roots with your fingers and place the herbs in the center of the planters with organic potting soil.  

One of MKR’s pro tips: invest in a plant mister for the herbs.  And keep in mind that as the herbs begin to outgrow their original planters, you can easily replant them outside where they’ll have more room to flourish.  Happy planting!  Cheers, Kat
