Windowsill Gardening

Don’t miss out on growing your own vegetables just because you don’t have a garden! Growing herbs and veg on your windowsill garden means you can enjoy a constant supply of herbs, salad and vegetables.

One of the best ways to grow herbs is indoors in a windowsill garden. It keeps your herbs warm and, when positioned in your kitchen, means your herbs are close to-hand for cooking too!
