I’m so glad you’ve found this course! I grew up gardening and tending many house plants alongside my dad and sister, who were both passionate about growing all sorts of plants. But when I went to work at a garden center, I met many people who didn’t have that hands-on experience. I learned that the basics – how and what to grow, how much light plants need, even when to water plants – wasn’t always so basic for new gardeners.
That’s why I created EASY INDOOR HERB GARDENING. During the pandemic, I found that my house plants gave me a lot of happiness as I worked with them. And nothing gave me more pleasure than cooking tasty meals with the fresh herbs snipped from my herb plants. Basil, oregano, lemon balm, thyme, mint, rosemary, sage, chives – these herb friends give so much taste to every meal that I can’t imagine cooking without them.
I wanted to teach everyone who loves to cook and who craves a little greenery in their homes the knowledge and skills to grow happy, healthy indoor herb plants. With EASY INDOOR HERB GARDENING I’ve taken the mystery out of “how do I keep my plants alive?” and made it fun and simple to create a miniature herb garden right in your home.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN INSIDE EASY INDOOR HERB GARDENING….
- Which herbs can I grow more easily than others inside your home
- How to choose healthy plants at the garden center
- Why it’s important to use specific techniques when watering
- How to increase the humidity around your little herb plant nursery
- Which soil to choose and why
- Which fertilizers to use (and why)
- How to tell if you have enough natural sunlight to grow herbs in your home, and what to do if you don’t
- What bad bugs look like on an herb plant
- How to clean pots and containers so they don’t spread diseases to your herb plants

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will this course teach me how to use herbs medicinally?
No, this course does not include medicinal uses of herbs, although I do mention some of them. You can, however, use all of the information shared in this course to grow some medicinal herbs indoors.
I’ve heard that herbs are really hard to grow indoors. Is that true?
Most people who have found it hard to grow indoors struggle because they don’t understand the unique requirements for light, soil, water and more of their herb plants. With this course, I’ll teach you the basics so your chances of success are greatly improved.
I’ve grown house plants. Why do I need this course if I want to grow herbs?
Growing herbs requires different knowledge and skills than other house plants. Plus, this course includes helpful information on how to store and dry herbs for future use.
What’s the big deal about growing herbs indoors? I can just buy dried herbs at the store.
Top chefs including Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Wolfgang Puck, and Julia Child all recommend cooking with fresh herbs whenever possible. The taste difference between dried herbs and freshly picked herbs is astonishing. Most herbs purchased at the grocery store in tins or jars are several months, if not years, away from the field. Dried, irradiated herbs lose much of the essential oils that give them their taste and flavor. When you grow your own indoor herbs, you’ll always have fresh herbs immediately at hand to add to your recipes. The taste difference will amaze you!
