This winter, you can give the “foodie” in your family a thoughtful gift, such as the Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set. These rustic little pots make an attractive display on the windowsill, while also providing the utilitarian functionality of growing fresh herbs to use in your recipes. It can sometimes be difficult to procure seeds in the dead of winter, but with the kit, growing is made easy. There are advanced AeroGardens for the serious growers, but a smaller kit is a great way to see if you’re ready to take your winter gardening to the next level.

“You won’t believe the difference in flavor between using dried seasonings and using the herbs you’ll grow with our classic Italian Herb Garden Trio. You can’t get fresher ingredients,” says the official description. The Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set comes with three attractive, green, 7 inch stoneware planters; a 13-inch long drip tray; seeds for three aromatic herbs (basil, oregano and chives); growing instructions; and peat soil pellets (which will expand when exposed to water). As with any garden, buyers will need to pay attention to water, temperature and sunlight requirements to achieve success with this product. If you like this kit, you can also buy the French Herb Garden Trio, with Parsley, marjoram and lemon basil. For $11.95, you can also buy Amazon’s “Assortment of 12 Culinary Herb Seeds” that includes parsley, thyme, cilantro/coriander, basil, dill, oregano, sweet marjoram, chives, garlic, mustard and sage — and can be grown in the same pots if you’d like.

One reviewer of the Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set from Michigan is very ecstatic about her purchase. “The herbs I’m growing are healthy and taste amazing,” she writes, adding that she would recommend it over more expensive indoor gardens. She set it on her windowsill and mentioned that “multiple people have commented on how pretty the little garden is when they come over.” A buyer from North Carolina described the kit as “fun and easy to plant,” with the plants sprouting within days. A consumer from San Francisco especially liked the drip tray, which “makes it easy and neat to water.” Consumers have reported that they bought this kit for their desks at work, their spouses and their children.

One buyer who ordered the Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set through Amazon commented that the product was nice but “seemed a little pricey for what you get, especially when you include the shipping charge.” However, the price has come down considerably from the .99 original retail. Consumers can now purchase the kit through www.amazon.com for just .63. The only danger with ordering through online vendors is that you need to look at the sellers’ ratings. Sometimes people who placed orders complained that they did not receive the seeds or they received old seeds that didn’t work in the kit for some reason. A new Italian Herb Garden kit can also be purchased from www.windowbox.com for .99.
