Why complete indoor herb garden planter kits make a good gift

  • Everything needed to get started is in one box, so there is no extra shopping.
  • Gives home cooks a steady supply of basil, parsley or chives for everyday meals.
  • A hands-on winter project that works well in apartments without outdoor growing space.

What to look for

  • Check which herb seeds are included and whether they match the recipient's cooking tastes.
  • See whether the kit needs a sunny window or includes a grow light for darker rooms.
  • Measure the counter or sill space, since some kits hold three pots and others hold six.

Questions people ask

Do indoor herb kits need a grow light?
Herbs need several hours of bright light a day, so in a Canadian winter a south-facing window or a kit with a grow light helps.
How long before the herbs can be harvested?
Many kitchen herbs are ready to snip about four to eight weeks after sowing, depending on the herb and the light.
