Small Space Gardening: Organic Potted Herb Garden

May 10, 2014

Container gardening is the way to go when you’re working with a small space. This Organic Potted Herb Garden will be the perfection addition and makes a wonderful gift!

This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.

Small Space Gardening: Organic Potted Herb Garden | MomOnTimeout.com

A couple of weekends ago I had the most amazing opportunity to work with Miracle-Gro at a local hardware store. The idea was to help customers who were purchasing plants, pots, and soil by potting their plants for free using soil provided by Miracle-Gro.

And we were using the good stuff too 🙂

I had the best time answering questions about gardening and small space gardening in particular. Container gardening is a fabulous way to go when you’re dealing with small spaces. Whether it’s a patio, small courtyard, or your aparment deck, containers create instant gardens at your fingertips.

I wasn’t the only one helping and giving adivce – I had Scott there too! Turns out Scott and I had a lot to talk about and any time there was a lull in traffic we started talking food. Yep. Scott is a retired chef and was giving me the low down on great places to eat in Sacramento. I was seriously taking notes 🙂

We had this cool area to work in and it sure made potting easy! I soooo need one of these in my back yard!

Of course I had to get in on the action so I selected a variety of organic herbs to create an herb garden for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. I picked up all of her favorites: mint, cilantro, parsley, oregano…even a goji berry plant!

I know my mother-in-law is just going to LOVE her new organic herb garden!

I am so in love with gardening and I truly believe anyone can do it – no matter how big your space is. Make sure to check out my Side Yard Vegetable Garden post – it’s an excellent way to use that wasted space on the side of the house 🙂

I just want to thank Miracle-Gro for such a great experience! I had so much fun meeting new people and talking gardening all day. It was a blast and now I’m covered for Mother’s Day!

    Hello Trish, great site! I like how you have shown people don’t need loads of space to start planting their own veg/herbs.. great images too, helps convey your point.
    Thanks
    Richard.

    Tish,
    Thanks for this post. Its really great to see people promoting growing your produce no matter what your size constraints are. We’re starting a small suburban homestead here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and we’re primarily focused on growing food in the kitchen and the areas right outside the kitchen door. Keep up the great work, the site looks awesome!

    I want to grow some herbs in my kitchen, so I can cook with fresh ingredients. But my kitchen is a little bit small. Thanks to this post, now I know what I have to do. Many thanks 🙂

    I’m not a gardener, but it is on my list of things to learn to do this year. After reading this post I think I’ll start with an herb garden! I love cooking with fresh herbs, so growing them myself would be a total bonus.

    It sounds like you had a total blast! With your awesome green thumb, would you come help me plant a little potted garden when we move at the end of the summer? I don’t want to start anything now because, uhh, we already have WAY too much stuff to move, but it’s been my dream to have a little herb garden and I’d love to hear all of your tips! 🙂
