One of the easiest ways I dipped into gardening was by growing herbs on a sunny windowsill. It doesn’t take much—just a few pots, some soil, and seeds like basil or mint. Watching them sprout and snip fresh leaves feels strangely rewarding.

There’s something special about cooking with herbs you grew yourself. It makes even a simple dish feel more personal. Plus, they smell amazing just sitting in the kitchen.

It’s a small way to bring a little greenery into everyday life without needing a huge backyard.
