18 Brilliant and Creative DIY Herb Gardens for Indoors and Outdoors

Regardless of whether you have a small garden, a huge garden or no garden at all, there should be no excuse for not growing your herbs. They're very easy to maintain and there truly is nothing better than picking your very own fresh herbs right in your home. You can build a big garden feature or a subtler indoor hanging garden or wall; either way, an herb garden won't only provide you with fresh produce and delicious food, but it'll also brighten up your home. And don't even get me started on the wonderful smells that will be emanating from your little plants!

Mason Jar Garden

Mason Jar Garden
The Mason jar craze is still in full force, and I don't think it'll be dying down anytime soon. So when it comes to using them for DIY projects, making a wall herb garden just seems like the next logical step! Without holes for drainage you have to be careful not to overwater your plants; you could also put some stones in the bottom of the jar so that the water sits there and not in the soil.

Bottle-Top Vertical Garden

Bottle-Top Vertical Garden
Not only is this project adorable and functional, but it's a great way to reuse those old plastic two-liter bottles. The opening at the bottom provides the necessary drainage, and the shape makes your herbs look like mini trees.

Pallet Planter

Yes, the pallet projects truly seem never ending, which is fantastic when considering that these things are pretty easy to get for free. This project is actually ridiculously easy, and you get to paint and decorate your planter however you want. I think some chalkboard paint could work well here too – that way you can name each herb.

Vertical Garden Wall

Vertical Garden Wall
A lack of physical space shouldn't deter you from having your very own herb garden, so going vertical is the perfect option. This stand-alone wire netting wall is pure brilliance and despite its genius function, it is absolutely beautiful! It looks like some modern art creation.

Crooked Pot Garden

Crooked Pot Garden
I adore this crooked pot idea – it's just so charming and cute! A metal rod through the middle keeps your wonky pots in place so that they just look like they're about to fall over but won't actually fall over. If you're buying everything new, including the herbs, this pretty little project will only set you back about $25.

Hanging Bottles

Hanging Bottles
These mercury glass bottles are absolutely beautiful, but don't fret if you can't find any – you can simply customize plastic bottles by cutting holes into them. I'd recommend a nice paint job if you're using regular plastic bottles.

I just love coming face to face with the ingenious creativity that some people possess. This DIYer decided to turn her vertical IKEA wine bottle holder horizontally, pop in some herbs in glasses and turn it into a stunningly modern indoor herb garden.
