12 Creative Instagrams to Inspire Your Own Cool Kitchen Herb Garden

By growing a herb garden, you'll be able to easily add a sprig of this and a sprinkling of that to the healthy dish you're whipping up. Your herb supply is multi-purpose, too. Add bits to cocktails, and, if you can grow super herbs, you can stock your medicine cabinet with them as well.

Thanks to the ingenuity and genius design hacks of internet users, this addition to your kitchen won't necessarily remind you of your grandmother's house (just me?). Plus, putting one together isn't hard. There are many kits available online, like this option that comes complete with nine different plants and reusable pots. To get inspired, here are the prettiest herb gardens I found.

These shelf-like planters are the perfect way to display your herb collection. Plus, because they're long and deep, you can up the amount of plants you're growing.

3. Tin cans

This is one project you won't be on the fence about. (Sorry, had to.) You can easily repurpose an old fence panel by using it to display herb planters.

6. Herb wall

Believe it or not, the wood panel for this herb garden was upcycled from a lounge chair. Use whatever you have on hand to display your herbs, too.

Instead of getting rid of your empty jars, use them as planters for your herb garden. Better yet if you choose different sizes and heights.

10. Open shelves

Kokedama—a Japanese style of gardening that involves growing plants in balls of soil covered with moss—can be a fun and unique way to display your herbs. Every time you have guests over, it will be the first thing they notice.

If you have a shorter cabinet, shelf, or cart, it can be the perfect place to store your herbs. Extra bonus: You can keep your gardening supplies in the space underneath.
