Wanna Start Your Own Indoor Victory Garden? This Exclusive Discount for Kitchn Readers Will Get You Going
In case you missed it, the pandemic has revived the victory garden movement, aka growing your own herbs and vegetables. And even those of us with tiny outdoor spaces or spare windowsills are invited to join in. If you’ve been itching to nurture your own victory garden but don’t know where to begin, herbs are a good starting point. They’re fuss-free, require very little maintenance, and are easily available online. Case in point: plants.com, which has a curated collection of high-quality, pre-potted fresh herbs that arrive partially grown, setting you and your green thumb up for success. And right now, Kitchn readers exclusively get an extra 15 percent off of everything, including herbs, with the code KITCHNPLANTS15.
One of our favorite things about the site’s herb collection is the price point. For $35, you can snag a lush trio of mint, oregano, and rosemary that’s delivered pre-potted in a charming wooden rectangular planter box that can easily fit on a sleek windowsill or a narrow countertop. Or for $30, pick a medium-sized basil, parsley, thyme, or oregano plant in a chic burlap and wire mesh planter — so it basically doubles up as decor. Plants.com also stocks a luscious rosemary bush that costs $40 and, given the size, will fill your entire home with its gorgeous scent.
If you typically buy fresh snippets of savory herbs at the grocery store, you know just how pricey they can get. But with a blooming, fragrant plant always at the ready on your countertop or windowsill, you’ll be prepping and garnishing summer salads, poultry dishes, and homemade sauces without having to spend an extra penny. And while these pet-friendly plants are relatively easy to grow, just keep in mind that they do require water every two weeks and an ample dose of direct sunlight.
Right now, plants.com is offering free contactless delivery to your doorstep on all orders of $75 or above. Plus, with the extra 15 percent discount, it’s a great opportunity to stock up on plants and herbs that can nurture your soul during these uncertain times.
