Mini Herb Garden Kit

more projects

I made similar mini herb sets last Christmas to give as gifts, but this time I decided to paint the pots pale pink and raspberry for spring.

What's needed:
- Terra cotta pots
- Patio paint
- Potting soil
- Herb seeds
- Kraft paper coin envelopes
- Paper mache box or other container
- Assorted rubber stamps, paints, etc.

Paint the pots different shades of pink, let dry, then put a clear coat on top.
Paint the paper mache boxes to match pots.
Fill mini paper, or clear candy bags with enough potting soil to fill all the pots in the kit.
Decorate coin envelopes, fill with assorted seeds, seal, then label.(I used mini return address labels, printed with name of herb in packet, to seal envelope.
Old tins, perhaps even old lunch boxes, would make nice containers for the mini garden, though I didn't have any at the time.
