It's the smells that let you know that Spring has sprung. Like the smell of rain or fresh cut grass. And of course all the flowers and plants. You can have those fresh fragrances near or in your home if you plant an herb garden. Rosemary, sage, mint, cilantro...these are all bursting with flavors and smells. Here are some great ways to add an herb garden to your kitchen or in your yard.
In The Kitchen

| Keeping plants in containers can really help extend both your design options and the growing season for outdoor plants. The cement patio, black pots, and wood siding all increase both soil and air temperatures by several degrees. Image courtesy of Aloe Designs. |
