Simple and stylish indoor herb garden DIY! Use Terra Cotta pots to keep your herbs close by all summer long! Includes the FREE build plans.
Building an indoor herb garden DIY has been on my to-do list for approximately 365 days. Last year I tried to grow the herbs from seeds and that was a colossal failure. This year, I went a safer route and bought some greenhouse herbs. I'm already using them in my cooking! There really is nothing better than leaning over and cutting off fresh greens while you're making pasta sauce. Something so domestic about it. Of course, my herbs needed a nice home if they were going to permanently live on my counter. This wooden herb garden is what I came up with.
Why an Indoor Herb Garden DIY?
We've always wanted to have an indoor herb garden, and once you've seen how easy it is you'll wonder why it took you so long to build one yourself! We've been cooking a lot more at home, and there's nothing better than having your own fresh herbs in your own kitchen!
The plans below are for small pots, which give us enough to use for our family, but the designs below can easily be scaled up if you wanted to use larger pots.

So where is the water draining to from the pots if this is sitting in your kitchen window?

I usually put a plate under them when I water them. Or I take them out and place them on a plate since the herbs like to drink from their roots :) I would do this in the morning once every couple of days and just put them back in when they've soaked up the water.
