Growing Information:
Light Requirements:
Most herbs in the Deluxe Herb Garden prefer full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Some herbs like mint or parsley can tolerate partial shade but still benefit from plenty of light to thrive.
Soil Preferences:
Herbs grow best in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Enrich the soil with organic compost to improve fertility, and ensure it drains well to avoid waterlogging, which could lead to root rot.
Planting Tips:
Start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors once the weather warms up and all danger of frost has passed. Many of the herbs, like basil, oregano, and parsley, are easy to direct sow into the garden. Some, like rosemary, benefit from starting indoors for better germination rates. Space the plants according to the size requirements indicated on the seed packets (usually 12-18 inches apart).
Watering Needs:
Water herbs consistently but be sure not to overwater. Most herbs prefer moderately moist soil that drains well. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's important to let the top layer of soil dry out between watering. During dry periods, water deeply to ensure the plants’ roots stay hydrated.

Many of the plants in this garden, such as lavender, thyme, and basil, attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, contributing to a healthy garden ecosystem. -
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable:
By growing your own herbs, you’re reducing your carbon footprint and minimizing the need for store-bought, packaged herbs. Many of these herbs are also perennial, ensuring you’ll enjoy them year after year.
Growing Zones:
Your Deluxe Herb Garden is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3-9, with many of the herbs in the kit being perennial in warmer zones and annual in cooler zones. However, with container gardening, you can grow them year-round indoors or move them outdoors during the warmer months, extending your growing season.
How to Use in the Garden:
Indoor Herb Garden:
If you're short on outdoor space or live in a climate with harsh winters, your Deluxe Herb Garden can be grown indoors on a sunny windowsill, balcony, or countertop. A few herb pots or small containers can provide fresh herbs all year round.
Container Gardening:
Perfect for patios, decks, or small gardens, the herbs can be grown in individual containers or grouped together in larger pots. This is a great option if you want to keep herbs close to your kitchen for easy access while cooking.
Raised Beds & Garden Plots:
For those with larger spaces, the herbs can be planted in raised garden beds or directly into the ground. This is a great way to create an herb garden that is both functional and beautiful, and allows for easy harvesting.
Companion Planting:
Many of the herbs in this kit can be used for companion planting to help protect vegetables from pests and improve growth. Basil, for example, can be planted alongside tomatoes to enhance flavor and repel pests.
