Did you recently buy herbs from Plantables but have no idea where to grow them? Most people have the assumption that you must grow plants outside in your garden. That may be true in some cases, but for Herbs, you can plant them almost anywhere! So here are ten easy, affordable and even green ways to get your green-thumbed garden growing!
1. Upcycled Lotion Bottle Planters
This idea is super simple and very green. Just grab your used shampoo bottle, cut it in half, clean it, and paint it with your favorite color! Why waste good items you plan to throw away!

2. Hanging Garden Shelf
Now we’ll admit this idea isn’t nessarsially cheap or easy, but it sure is cool! Grab some 3/4 inch pine boards, rope, and zip ties and some 3″ to 4″ inch pots. We suggest giving these boards a nice finish stain one you’ve made all your cuts. Once you’re done, you can hang this in your kitchen, on your patio, balcony or wherever suits them best.

3. Mason Jar Garden
Now, this is how you make your herb garden on a low budget! We know you have some mason jars that are soon to be empty of your favorite pasta sauce. Give it a solid cleaning, get your organic soil, pebbles and get planting! These look great where ever you place them and are great resources for growth.

5. Kitchen Tea Pots, and Mug Garden
When your Plantables box arrives, and you don’t have any pots. Then look in your kitchen cupboards for some old mugs, teacups, or jars to use for planters. Another great idea is to go to your local thrift store and search for some unique and antique mug’s, and pots.
