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)
