Herb Gardens, Please Stand Up

— MASON JAR VERTICAL HERB GARDEN  by Rebecca's Bird Gardens, www.rebeccasbirdgardensblog.blogspot.com

Ah yes, the ole’ potted herbs on the back deck certainly lets us know that summer has arrived to the Hudson Valley. After all, is there really any more satisfying epicurean act then snipping off a few fresh twigs of thyme right before firing up the grill?  I think not.

Timeless terra cotta planters and bold Mexican pottery certainly aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. But what if you could treat your potted herb garden to a new design aesthetic? Vertical gardens offer an amazing way to spice things up.  We gathered some inspirational projects to get your creative juices flowing.
