Hey kiddo, have you ever heard of a herb garden? It's like a special garden where you can grow really yummy things that make your food taste great!
So when you go to the supermarket, you might see little packets of dried herbs like basil, parsley, or thyme. These are special leaves and stems that add flavor to our food! People who love to cook and eat yummy food like to grow their own herbs at home in a special garden.
To start a herb garden, you first need a small space outside or inside where you can put some soil in a pot, or even in small cups to grow the herbs. The plants need sunlight, so choose a spot that gets plenty of light.
Next, you need to pick which herbs you want to grow. There are lots of different types, so you can choose your favorites! Some popular ones are basil, thyme, mint, parsley, and rosemary. Then, you can get little packets of seeds from a store or even buy already grown herbs at a nursery.
Once you have the seeds or plants, you can plant them in the soil and give them some water. You'll need to take good care of them by watering them regularly and pulling out any weeds that might grow nearby.
After a few weeks or months, your herbs will be big enough to use in cooking! You can just snip off a little bit of the leaves or stems and add them to your food to make it taste even better.
So that's a herb garden, you get to grow your own yummy ingredients and impress your family with your cooking skills!
