Bring Life to Your Home: Creating an Indoor Herb or Aromatherapy Garden

,

If you don’t have access to outside space – or even if you do – creating an indoor garden can help you reduce stress, and enhance the overall look of your home year-round. And if you’re growing herbs, you’ll enjoy tastier and more nutritious home cooking as well!

Culinary Indoor Herb Garden

Many kitchen gardeners love the convenience of indoor herbs, as they are low maintenance, pretty and don’t require a lot of space.

  • The ideal location of your indoor herb garden is in your kitchen, where you could snip the herb and use it in whatever you are cooking.

  • To grow indoor herbs, you need as much light as possible.

  • Be sure to use a saucer or liner under your pot, to protect your surface and allow the water to drain. Herbs do not grow as well if the water sits at the bottom of the pot.

  • Some excellent choices include: basil, chives, lemon balm, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme.


Aromatherapy Herb Garden

  • Pretty look at, and wonderfully fragrant, Lavender can help decrease anxiety and providing a calm environment.

  • Lemon Basil is known to calm, fortify an uplift the mind. It has a very pleasant, light citrus aroma.

  • Garden Sage has a perfume-like aroma with slightly floral and spicy tones. Sage is said to help clarify the mind.

  • Lemon Balm has a strong lemon scent with slightly mint tones. Lemon balm is believed to induce a sense of calm and serve as a natural stress reliever.

  • Peppermint can naturally elevate your mood, while Spearmint’s aroma is uplifting and stress reducing.

  • Combining floral scents as well as pine, wood, eucalyptus, and clove, Rosemary’s aroma is believed to increase productivity.
