You can plant herbs in small pots and keep them near a window inside your house.

Many neighborhoods have community gardens—even in the city.  Does yours?

You don't need much space to try planting an herb garden, but you do need sun. Pick a spot that gets at least eight hours of sun each day.

Drainage is also important. For this reason, raised beds or containers can be better than placing your seeds or seedlings right into the ground.

Some herbs need more water than others. Research the types of herbs you're planting to determine how much water is needed.
