Mason Jar Herb Garden Supplies

Mason Jars – we used wide mouth pint size and left the rings on – the wide mouth worked well and made it easy to get the herbs planted
Herbs – you can find herb plants at most grocery stores in the produce section or at your local garden center, or you can also try your green thumb and plant seeds and watch them grow
Stones for drainage
Potting Soil
Decorations – we used burlap ribbon and buffalo plaid flannel on some of the jars
Tags and strings – to add the name of the herbs

Add burlap ribbon around the mason jar, securing with hot glue
When the buffalo plaid flannel strip is tied, you can see the lace on the ribbon. So I added a small strip of fabric to cover it. This step is optional.
Wrap the strip of buffalo plaid fabric around the mason jar and tie a knot
Add a couple handfuls of stones to the mason jar
Plant the herb with potting soil
Then write the name of the herb on the tag

This Mason Jar Herb Garden is also great for gift giving! You can fill several jars with herbs, then add them to a basket. Or adding a cookbook and kitchen gadgets is fun as well.

Giving a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year is always a great idea!
