Your summer garden might be frozen over by now, but that doesn’t mean your kitchen creations have to sacrifice fresh flavor. Winter is the perfect time to sprout some herbs indoors. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie in the gardening world, these 5 indoor herbs are a great place to start!

1. Rosemary

While rosemary demands a bit of attention, the flavor makes it worth your time. Opt for a well-drained, spacious pot and keep those roots dry with a layer of gravel. With ample sunlight, this aromatic herb will elevate your culinary creations.

2. Parsley

A more flexible option, Parsley thrives indoors with minimal fuss. Sow seeds on the soil's surface, set it in full or partial sunlight and maintain the soil moist, not drenched. Consider sharing a pot with herb buddies like basil, oregano, thyme and chives to make the most of your space.

3. Thyme

Thyme is of the essence, and this essential herb thrives happily both indoors and out. Opt for a clay planter to avoid soggy roots and the right soil mix (sand, potting soil, peat moss and perlite). Pruning woody stems stimulates new growth while dividing the plant can yield multiple pots of this culinary essential!

4. Sage

Aromatic and associated with savory fall flavors, sage requires a 10-inch diameter container with proper drainage. Choose well-drained soil, such as cactus mix, and place it in a sunny window offering at least six hours of sunlight daily. Harvest before flowering for optimal flavor!

5. Oregano

Compact and hardy, Oregano doesn't demand too much room – just a six-inch pot will do. Keep the soil regularly watered, and ensure it basks in sunlight or under fluorescent lights for optimal growth. Pinch off leaves regularly for a bushier, bountiful harvest.

If you love gardening in the warmer months, channel your attention and TLC into some indoor herbs this Winter season. Happy cultivating!
