Shell Herb Garden

Needed:

• Various shells
• Potting soil (seeding blend)
• Measuring cup (or any kind of scoop)
• Watering can and water
• Herb seeds (parsley, basil, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc.)

Instructions:

Step 1: Choose various shells with deep crevices.

Step 2: Fill shells with potting soil (using the measuring cup as a scoop).

Step 3: Sprinkle potting soil with various herb seeds.

Step 4: Gently water the soil and seeds.

Step 5: Place in your outdoor garden, kitchen, windowsill or anywhere you want decorative plants.

Step 6: Once the herb plants are 1 inch tall, transplant in a prepared area (or even deeper shells) for continued growth.

In natural shells, this garden looks quite nice outdoors. It blends in with the surrounding area and gives a subtle, decorative touch.

Additional step: have adults or children paint the shells before planting the garden for a more vibrant looking garden.

This project is quite easy, and can be done by the youngest child.
