I love growing my own herbs! No matter where we’ve lived, I’ve always found the space for at least a small container herb garden. They’re just so easy to grow, so useful, and save me from spending money on the fresh “live” herbs available at the grocery store (which half the time, die within a week for me). But sometimes, I don’t use as many herbs as usual, or my plants are just extra prolific. Which is what led me recently to go looking for ways to use up my extra herbs. Here are 10 Creative Ways to Use Herbs from Your Garden!
Herbs are useful for more than just cooking! As you’ll see in these ideas for ways to use herbs from your garden, you can also use them in beauty products, cleaning products, and more!
If you don’t have space for a container garden outdoors, you might want to consider growing herbs inside. You can grow them the traditional way, in pots, or get this handy hydroponic indoor garden with grow lights from Amazon!
