The 15 Best Indoor Herb Gardens, According to Tests and Reviews
Plant all of your favorite aromatics with ease.
Anyone with an affinity for aromatics may want to take a peek at indoor herb gardens, which, as their name implies, grow fresh herbs inside. "Indoor growing systems make plants healthier and stronger by eliminating soil-borne diseases and pests. You can basically tailor the environment to each plant's needs," says Jane Dobbs, a UK-based gardener with a decade of experience in landscaping. "Herbs and vegetables can be grown indoors all year round without being affected by the weather. Plants can mature faster and get to harvest sooner."
So, when we set out to find some of the best options out there, we took a lot of info into account, including size, herb capacity, and how self-sufficient they are. Luckily for those who want to either test their hand at growing their own herbs and experienced gardeners alike, we discovered plenty of reputable systems out there. In fact, one of the internet's most popular options lives in the kitchen of House Beautiful's very own creative director, Nicolas Neubeck. The rest of the products on our list come highly vetted (and rated) by current customers and are expert-approved to boot!
"Compared to other energy-hungry appliances, indoor herb garden systems do not consume a great deal of energy," Diane Kuthy, gardener and founder of How to Grow Everything, says. "Depending on your local cost of electricity, a large hydroponic setup may cost between $10 and $30 per month." We'd say you can't put a price on fresh herbs, but this budget will definitely work. Kuthy and Dobbs offer tips, tricks, and guidance for maintaining your delicious herbs, and even a few facts you may not know about these nifty gadgets, ahead.
