My DIY Herb & Succulent Garden, Step by Step

Herb and succulent garden

Supplies:

Step 1 – Choose your succulent.

Step 2 – Fill the planter about ¾ of the way with good soil. Plant you succulent, leaving room for other plants.

Step 3 – Then choose your herb, such as Sage (which is great for cooking). Add it to the pot.

Step 4 – Add a few more small succulents. Fill in the pot with soil and give your herbs & succulents some space. They’ll grow quickly so don’t over plant.

Step 5 – Give your plant some water. You won’t have to water often. Succulents hold water, so just water with herbs look a little limp or the soil looks dry.

Step 6 – Voila – an instant herb & succulent garden made very easily and affordably! And you’ve got fresh herbs for cooking at the ready!
