Shell Herb Garden

 

Instructions:

  1. Choose various shells with deep crevices.
  2. Fill shells with potting soil (using the measuring cup as a scoop).
  3. Sprinkle potting soil with various herb seeds.
  4. Gently water the soil and seeds.
  5. Place in your outdoor garden, kitchen, windowsill or anywhere you want decorative plants.
  6. Once the herb plants are 1 inch tall, transplant in a prepared area (or even deeper shells) for continued growth.
  7. In natural shells, this garden looks quite nice outdoors. It blends in with the surrounding area and gives a subtle, decorative touch. An herb garden planted in a large shell.

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.

Great idea! I've got so many shells that are going unused!

Shells have many uses. Here in Florida, Walmarts and many of the big box stores use shells as mulch. Plants look pretty peeking out of the shells.
