A Storybook Windowsill Herb Garden

Want a cute and practical way to add more healthful and tasty herbs to your meals? Kitchen herb gardens, typically planted right outside the kitchen door, have been used for centuries to provide easy access to fresh herbs while cooking. In fact, the roots of kitchen herb gardens run deep! Dating back as far as we can trace civilization, we find evidence of herbs being grown near dwellings to provide food, seasoning, medicine, dyes, and more. People have long valued herbs for their health and beauty benefits.

If you have extra jars sitting in cupboards, here's a way to reuse them while bringing a cheerful color and a little bit of plant life to make your kitchen more practical and serene. And as a bonus, you can enjoy their fragrance filling your room!
