GROWING A CONTAINER HERB GARDEN

Stats are reflective for May 2026. | Source: Vancouver Island Real Estate Board | Market values stated are for homes in Zone 5 and Zone 4 respectively. Individual home market values will vary and are affected by factors such as location, size, interior and exterior condition. Please call to get an up-to-date evaluation of your home. Consider popular options like chives and green onions, their savory flavour is a favourite in many dishes. Basil and rosemary also add beauty and flavour but can be more challenging to grow. Both garlic and dill add great flavour to a range of dishes, but they require more space than other herbs. sold Growing herbs in containers enhances not only your kitchen ingredients but also your home’s ambience, adding freshness to the space. Herbs are convenient, aromatic and useful year-round, providing fragrant foliage, visual interest and a steady supply of leaves for cooking even after the outdoor season ends. Consider herbs like mint, thyme, oregano and parsley. Not only are they fast-growing, used in many recipes and smell amazing, but they are also known for their gorgeous appearance.
