While each herb kit is unique, there are some basic items contained by all to help you start.

The one item guaranteed to be in each kit, no matter what type, is seed. Depending on the manufacturer, the kit may contain a clear plastic dome that acts like a greenhouse. This mini greenhouse keeps the temperature and humidity levels constant to allow the herb a chance to produce a vibrant root system and the plant to thrive. Each herb garden kit will contain a set of instructions. This step-by-step guide makes it foolproof for the new herb gardener to succeed.

Many of the culinary herb kits include a recipe guide to give you examples of how best to use your new herbs in your family’s meals. A good number of the online sources for herb kits offer a subscription to an email newsletter that contains recipes and other helpful information.

A suitable planter is included with all kits. This is usually designed to provide the best home to your chosen type of herb. Sometimes it is decorative. Since proper soil type is a concern for the herb gardener it is usually included. Some kits have pellets in which to start seed.

There are many benefits to growing herbs indoors from a kit. You can enjoy your herbs considering these are within easy reach.
