How to Decorate With Herb Plants

Did you know herbs aren't just for cooking?  

Decorating with herbs is a simple way to add natural beauty to your home! 

Did you know that decorating with herbs can bring natural beauty to your home?  This summer I planted mint, parsley, and oregano in container gardens on my patio. I thought I would bring a few clippings inside and display them in my home. I Sprinkled them here and there in different rooms to enjoy their natural fragrance.  

Here are a few ways you can decorate with herbs:

Aim to make your meals taste fresh by using herbs when you cook.  Keep fresh herbs nearby in the kitchen by placing them on a window sill or kitchen counter.  For a farmhouse look, place an herb plant inside a planter.  Or clip sprigs and put them in tin cans or mason jars.

I would love to have this Elevated Garden Bed in my dining room sitting below the window  

Make a centerpiece for your dining room table by gathering a mix of flowers and herbs. Grocery stores are great places to pick up a plant or two.  For this centerpiece, I used one colorful plant and two herb plants placed in decorative planters.

Another way to display herbs would be on top of a kitchen countertop. Clip herbs from your garden (or store-bought) and place them in glass bottles or mason jars.

One of my favorite ways to display fresh herbs is a vertical planter.  To do this I fill mason jars with water and add clippings then I use S hooks to hang them.  Click on the link to see how I made my vertical planter Vertical Planter

Adding herb plants to a shelf is an unexpected way to add greenery and fragrance.

My favorite cold drink this summer is this Watermelon Strawberry Drink made with mint.

I hope I gave you some ideas on how you can decorate and use fresh herbs in your home.
