Potted Garden Idea
This potted herb garden by @thegreenhousebrentwood works great for someone with only a terrace or a balcony. Use pots of various sizes and heights to add visual interest. The ladder planter helps squeeze in more herbs without taking up too much space. Plus, you can take potted herbs with you when you move!
Pallet Herb Garden Idea
All you need to recreate this affordable DIY herb garden by @whollymummy is a wood pallet and hanging wall planters. The semi-circular planters feature coconut fiber liners, which provide optimal air circulation and drainage for your fresh herbs. Fun chalkboard labels identify your herbs and can be easily reused when it’s time to switch out the plants.
Terra-Cotta Herb Garden Idea
There are only two simple supplies needed for this herb garden by @chicagogardener: matching terra-cotta pots and tiered plant stands.
We love terra-cotta pots for their classic look and affordable price. But did you know they also help grow healthy herbs? The porous terra-cotta allows air and water to flow through, preventing root rot and other soil diseases.
Self-Watering Herb Garden Idea
Ensure your herbs are never thirsty with a self-watering planter, like this one by @homeofcharl. This PlantBox planter features stackable troughs with water reservoirs that hold enough water for one or two weeks. Plants take up as much water as they need through the felt liner.
Here’s another self-watering planter with an included drip line that waters the plants from the top, and drainage holes that allow water to flow through to the lower plants.
Wine Barrel Herb Garden Idea
Here’s a creative idea from @likegrandmadid: Repurpose old wine barrels (these came from Facebook Marketplace) to create a beautiful and distinctive herb garden. You can also buy authentic oak wine barrels from The Home Depot. The barrels give your garden a rustic look and are durable enough to withstand all seasons.
Modern Herb Garden Idea
If you have a minimalist aesthetic, check out this streamlined herb garden by @barringtonmanor_design. The sleek black planter boxes are made of black powder-coated steel and can be arranged anywhere on the wall-mounted rails.
Install your herb garden on an exterior wall (you’ll need a hammer drill to mount it to a brick wall as seen here) or fence. You’ll have modern wall décor as well as fresh herbs!
Pocket Herb Garden Idea
This vertical herb garden by @barbi.s.journey was made with landscaping fabric shaped to create plant pockets, mounted to wood posts. You can also buy ready-made fabric pocket planters. Planter pockets are made from permeable felt fabric that keeps the soil moist without trapping water, so it promotes a healthy root system.
Raised Herb Garden
A grow table, like this one used by @thebowerhome, keeps your herbs at a comfortable height for watering and clipping. You can buy a grow table or make a raised garden planter out of wood. Either way, a table-height herb garden looks great out on a patio or deck and saves your knees!
Hanging Herb Garden
This charming hanging garden consists of stained spruce wood planks hanging from a rope. The stain helps them withstand the elements.
Notches in the wood planks clasp onto the lip of a four- or six-inch pot, suspending them in the air. You can add more planks to widen your garden and hold more herbs. The overall effect of a floating garden looks beautiful on your porch or patio.
Curved Metal Herb Garden
Give your herbs a special home with this curved metal raised garden bed. It consists of curved galvanized steel sheets that clip together to create a shape that’s shallow in the front and gradually deeper toward the back. The metal helps soil heat up faster in the spring and stay warmer into fall, extending your growing season.
