The place you grow your garden herbs may not be the most attractive set up. While we think this is somewhat sad, as herbs can be absolutely breath taking when presented in a lovely container, there is another reason to keep things neat. It is pretty common to accidentally snip the wrong herb, especially if they are growing on top of one another and are not labelled.
This need not take up a ton of space, but is best for each herb to be in its own pot. To conserve space, bunch the containers together. In addition, make them all the same style of pot, and then write in nice handwriting what each herb is inside. Now you have an agreeable mini garden.
When you need more than a sprig or two of an herb, you can take the whole container into the kitchen. No more return trips to the garden to get more. This will make them portable, presentable, and practical.
