    50 Cheap and Easy Herb Garden DIY Ideas

    Whether you are looking for indoor or outdoor herb gardens, there are plenty of DIY herb garden ideas to choose from that are cheap and easy to make. Many of these garden ideas are perfect for beginners and for small spaces like kitchens, patios, and apartments.

    50 Cheap and Easy DIY Herb Garden Ideas

    Buying fresh herbs at the grocery store can get expensive. You get a small amount for $2-$4 and the quality usually isn’t that great. You can save a lot of money by having your own DIY herb garden. Herbs are easy to take care of and don’t require much space. The seedlings, potting soil and pots are very inexpensive too. Also, the taste difference between dried herbs and fresh ones is huge!

    If you are new to gardening, I recommend you check out these articles before you get started:

    What supplies you can get at Dollar Tree:

    • terra cotta pots
    • planters
    • potting soil
    • pebbles and river rocks
    • gardening tools (pruning shears, garden trowel)
    • garden gloves
    • plant labels
    • coconut liners

    What you will need for these projects:

    • seeds, seedlings or herb plants
    • potting soil
    • gravel, pebbles or river rocks
