Materials You'll Need:

• Wooden pallet
• Landscaping fabric
• Staple gun

Step 1: Prepare Your Pallet

Start by cleaning and sanding your wooden pallet to ensure a smooth surface. This will also help in removing any splinters that could harm your plants.

Step 2: Attach Landscaping Fabric

Cut the landscaping fabric to fit the back and sides of your pallet. Use a staple gun to secure the fabric, creating pockets for the soil to sit in while allowing excess water to drain out.

Step 3: Add Soil and Plant Herbs

Fill each pocket with potting soil, leaving enough space for the roots of your herb plants. Plant your herbs according to the spacing recommendations on the plant tags.

Step 4: Water and Care for Your Garden

Water your vertical herb garden regularly, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Place your garden in a sunny spot and watch your herbs grow and thrive.

Step 5: Harvest and Enjoy

Once your herbs have grown, harvest them as needed to add fresh flavors to your meals. Get creative in the kitchen with your homegrown herbs!

Building a vertical herb garden is not only a fun and hands-on project but also a great way to connect with nature and add a touch of green to your living space. So why wait? Get started on your own vertical herb garden today!
