Herbs

Herb gardening in India is simple, rewarding, and ideal for home kitchens. Many herbs like basil, mint, and parsley thrive right through the monsoon season, while Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano prefer well-drained soil and drier conditions. Most herbs need protection from the harsh summer sunlight, but with a little care, they flourish in pots, terrace gardens, or backyard beds.

Whether you want to grow basil in pots, add fresh parsley to your salads, or enjoy the aroma of rosemary, herbs adapt well to the Indian tropical climate, and in cooler temperate regions they grow even longer. Fresh homegrown herbs not only elevate your cooking but also bring fragrance, color, and health benefits to your everyday meals.
