Herbs are wonderful plants. They add flavor to our meals, they add nutrients to our diet, and many have qualities that enhance our health. By growing an organic herb garden, you will be able to enjoy chemical free fresh herbs any time you choose. You will find the taste of your organic herbs is far superior to that of herbs grown with chemical fertilizers or processed commercially.

So how do you make sure your herb garden is organic? First of all, make sure that the seeds you plant are completely organic.  Many commercial seeds have been treated chemically or come from plants that were subjected to pesticides. You can find for organic seeds easily by searching for that phrase on the internet. Make sure the seeds you buy are guaranteed organic as well as non-genetically modified.

You will have a large number of herb plants to choose from, so plant ones which you will use, as well as ones that will grow well in your climate. Many herbs are perennials, so you will want to plant these in one area, and set aside a second area for annual herbs, such as basil, cilantro and parsley. Before you plant, map out your herb garden. Many herbs will grow better if they are planted next to other specific herbs. Do your research on this, or ask the staff at your gardening store.
