Herb Container Garden

Rosemary Palmer
by Rosemary Palmer
Learn about containers - herbs - the right soil - stacking pots. And all of this from someone who doesn't have a green thumb. Think about something now and get started for fall.
I’m not known for having a green thumb, but I keep trying. I have always wanted an herb garden but just never took the time and effort to do it. Fresh herbs are such a great way of adding an extra boost of flavor to any dish and I’m enjoying them now.


As in any project, gather all of your supplies you need for the project. If possible, go ahead and place the large pot in your space where you want it. Fill both pots leaving about 3” of space at the top with Miracle-Gro. Place the smaller pot at the back edge of the lower pot. By doing this you are leaving more surface area in the large pot for planting. I always like to do a practice round of the placement of the plants before actual planting.
Now you are ready to plant. All of these plants are from SL Plant Collections with the exception of the two Rosemary plants I picked up at a local grocery store.
After everything is planted to your satisfaction, give it a good watering. A watering can with a sprinkle attachment works best as it has a more gentle flow of water for your fresh plantings. This is also a good place to add any signs or ornaments to your garden. My “Rosemary” had the perfect spot.
