Friday Quickie: Grow Your Own Herbs

Looking for a way to eat super local? Try to grow your own herbs!

Even if you have a more black-than-green thumb, many herbs are easy to grow. You can guarantee an organic & local food, from your yard to your plate! These plants grow quickly and are way cheaper coming from your own house.

No outdoor space? No sweat! Herbs can prosper indoors, as long as you water them and give them a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight.

Ready to get started? Here’s some tips for an indoor herb garden. Grow away!
