How To Build A Vertical Herb Garden


Herbs are one of the easiest and most encouraging crops that we can grow in our kitchen garden. The best thing about herbs is the requirements of space. We don’t need a ton of space to grow them, we can grow them indoors in mason jars, outdoors in small pots and we can even grow them on our wall vertically. 

If you have a space problem in your kitchen garden, don’t worry, we will build our vertical herb garden. In this post, I will share a few vertical herb garden ideas and how to grow some of my favorite and easiest herbs. 



Vertical Herb Garden Ideas

Note: Before building any herb garden, you need to select a good location if you have one in your home. A good location means the location which receives a good amount of sunlight. Because herbs need sunlight to thrive, some even need 6-8 hours of sunlight. 

If you don’t have a wall that receives that amount of sunlight, you can build your vertical herb garden beside a window that receives sunlight or you can use led grow lights to provides the required amount of light for photosynthesis.
