Herb Planters & Plant Pots

Herb planters bring a bit of the garden into the kitchen and keep fresh basil, parsley or mint within reach while you cook. A kitchen windowsill is often one of the brightest spots in the house, which makes it a natural home for a small indoor herb garden.Drainage is the first thing to check. Herbs hate sitting in soggy soil, so choose pots with drainage holes and a saucer or tray to protect the sill, or self-watering planters if you tend to forget. Pots around 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inch) suit single herbs, while long rectangular troughs let you grow three or four side by side. Ceramic looks smart and stays stable, and metal buckets or hanging planters free up worktop space in smaller kitchens. Choose a pot slightly larger than the supermarket herb you’re rehoming and it should last a good while longer.Find more kitchen decorative accessories to finish the room.
