Shell Herb Garden

By Rebecca Lanham

If you'd like to grow some of your own herbs for cooking purposes, why not make the garden they are grown in decorative? Plant the herbs in various clam shells and conk shells for display!

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.)

Shell Herb Garden

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.
