How do fresh, organically-grown herbs sound to you? Would it be even better if they were grown year-round right in your own kitchen?
In the middle of a snowy Canadian winter, it is a delicious and savoury treat to be able to pluck a handful of fresh basil from my own kitchen garden to add to my pasta sauce. I love to cook and I love to garden, but it can be expensive, and sometimes impossible, to find fresh herbs for cooking during the long winter months.
A couple of years ago, my husband gave me an Aerogarden for Christmas. At the time, it was a brand new product and in such demand that I had to wait until March for it! My kids “helped” me set it up and plant the seeds. Within a week or two we were very excited to see little sprouts growing.

This is a variation of a hydroponic garden in which the roots of the plants are suspended in air, instead of water. Nutrient-rich water is pumped through the roots. The all-in-one system collects water in a reservoir. It maintains the humidity level inside an enclosed container which creates an ideal growing environment for plants.
This attractive kitchen garden sits right on my countertop and produces fresh herbs year-round. I love the convenience of being able to snip herbs as I need them.
It was incredibly easy to grow many delicious and fragrant herbs, including basil, cilantro, chives, thyme, dill, shiso and parsley. I have had success with cherry tomatoes, strawberries and fresh flowers without harmful pesticides.
