INSPIRING CURIOUS MINDS

OUR FOCUS FOR TERM 4 IS GARDENING!

Herbs can be a great thing to try and grow at home, they taste delicious, are good for you and help us act in a sustainable way - no packaging required for home grown things!

Herbs are also great because you don’t need a garden to grow them, a pot will do. Good herbs to start with include coriander, chives, mint or thyme.

To grow herbs in a pot at home you will need

  • Potting mix
  • A pot
  • Seeds
  • Sunlight (place the pot near a window)
  • Water

If you manage to grow some of your own herbs you can then try this recipe below. Good luck!
