No watering can required.
We always seem to find bundles of wilted, forgotten herbs at the bottom of our crisper drawer. Save that basil a slow, painful death and exercise your green thumb at the same time with easy-to-use garden jar herb kits. You’ll have your own fresh herbs that you can snip from whenever you need a sprinkling of the good stuff!
Each jar is outfitted with a passive hydroponic system, which is a fancy way of saying it waters itself (no fear of over- or under-watering here!). The kit comes with everything you need to get to growing—all you provide is water and a sunny spot to set it in. We've even got a few helpful hints here to get you started.
Each kit contains:
- Quart-size mason jar to plant in
- Stainless steel net pot
- Recycled glass grow medium
- Polypro wick
- Coco pith disk
- Activated carbon
- Water reservoir
- Plant food
- Non-GMO seeds
