These Vintage-Style Mason Jar Planters Are the Chicest Way to Grow Your Favorite Herbs Indoors

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to growing herbs, I have a terrible track record. It seems that every time I head to my local grocer and pick up a basil plant, no matter what, it dies almost as fast as I get it home — much to the chagrin of my friends come pizza night. Not only do these supermarket herb plants tend to die rather fast, but they’re also a bit unsightly, even on a stylish windowsill.

Luckily, over the years, there has been a rise in indoor herb garden planters designed to help you grow all of your favorite herbs with ease and style. From chic kits designed to educate to sleek, high-tech devices that’ll do the work for you, there are a lot of options out there. The prettiest indoor herb grower we’ve come across? The Modern Sprout Mason Jar Indoor Herb Garden.

Using a self-watering, passive hydroponic system known as wicking — which brings water and nutrients up to the plant’s roots via a braided wick — this indoor herb garden is meant to finally make at-home herb growing easy. Housed in tinted, vintage-inspired jars, each herb comes in a different color jar allowing you to create a colorful garden you’ll love seeing (and using) each day. And setup couldn’t be easier — simply plant the included seeds of your choice, put water in the reservoir, place the jar in a sunny window, and start growing your garden. In no time you’ll have all the fresh herbs you could want!
