Why Growing a Herb Garden Is Perfect for Everyone
Growing a herb garden is a simple, hands-on way to connect with nature — and it’s something that everyone, regardless of age or ability, can enjoy. Whether you’re teaching kids how plants grow or helping seniors stay active and independent, a herb garden provides joy, flavor, and learning opportunities.
With the Green Circle Accessible Garden, growing herbs becomes even easier. Designed with accessibility in mind, its circular, raised design allows gardeners — including wheelchair users and those with limited mobility — to reach every part of the garden without bending or stretching.
What You’ll Need to Grow a Herb Garden
Creating a thriving herb garden doesn’t require a big backyard — just a sunny spot, some good soil, and a little care. Here’s what you’ll need:
Quality garden soil or potting mix
Water
Herb seeds (such as parsley, mint, chives, basil, or thyme)
A Green Circle Accessible Garden or any raised garden bed
Step-by-Step: Growing Your Herb Garden
1. Choose the Right Location
Herbs love the sun! Place your Green Circle Garden in a bright, open area that gets at least six hours of sunlight daily. The raised height makes it easy to position in patios, courtyards, or community garden spaces.
2. Prepare the Soil
Fill your Green Circle Garden with rich, high-quality soil. If you’re using store-bought potting mix, look for one labeled for vegetables and herbs. Good soil means healthy, flavorful herbs.
3. Plant the Seeds
Sprinkle your herb seeds evenly across the soil and cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil. Label each section if you’re planting multiple varieties. The Green Circle Garden’s circular layout makes it perfect for dividing into different “herb zones.”
4. Water Regularly
Use a gentle watering can or hose to keep the soil moist — not soaked. The Green Circle Garden’s built-in drainage system ensures that excess water flows away, preventing root rot and keeping herbs healthy.
5. Watch and Learn
Within a few weeks, you’ll see tiny green shoots appear. Kids will love checking in daily to see how their plants grow — and adults will enjoy the fresh scents of mint and basil as they mature.
Tips for Success
Sunshine is key: Herbs like basil, parsley, and thyme thrive in full sun.
Trim often: Regularly picking herbs encourages them to grow back fuller and stronger.
Mix it up: Combine herbs with different scents and textures for a sensory experience — perfect for accessible or therapeutic gardens.
Share the harvest: Use freshly picked herbs in family meals or community cooking sessions!
