Make A Vertical Herb Garden

One of my favorite things about summer is having fresh herbs on hand to use in recipes: basil for homemade pesto, cilantro for tacos, mint for infusing water, etc. And in years past I've potted these herbs on our deck, but having them on the floor of the deck isn't really ideal, with rain causing soil to splash everywhere, blah, blah, blah.

You might be thinking that vertical herb gardens sound kind of complicated. They could be, but this one's not. Seriously. This is one of the easiest gardening projects ever. Like less than an hour. Maybe less than 30 minutes, depending on how quickly you can make rings out of wire. Because all you need is a trellis, wire, pots, potting soil, and herbs (duh).





By purchasing a ready-made trellis, this outdoor herb garden comes together in no time flat! Just twist some galvanized outdoor wire into hangers, add your pots and herbs and your vertical garden is ready to go!
