Indoor Herb Garden
One of the easiest Indoor Gardens to begin with is an Indoor Herb Garden. It can be a very Basic Herb Garden or one that includes every herb that you use in your daily cooking.
Starting an Indoor Herb Garden does not involve any extensive planning or space and even if you live in a small apartment, condominium, or townhouse, all you really require is a southern or western facing window that gets about 5 to 6 hours of sunlight a day. However, even if you only have northern or eastern facing windows, that only get residual sunlight and shade, you can still grow a variety of herbs.
First off you will need some planters based on your chosen location and preference. Herbs can be grown together, so you can choose from either window boxes, small or medium sized terracotta pots 6 inches in diameter or more, or you can purchase an Indoor Herb Garden kit, like the ones pictured below that will already include everything you need to get started.
