It should be possible for everybody to grow some herbs, whether they have a garden or not.
Many people living in flats grow herbs successfully using suitable containers.
Details on indoor herb gardens are given later. Nearly all herbs prefer light, well drained soil and plenty of sunlight. This helps the plants produce their essential oils and active ingredients. Naturally the few that prefer shade such as angelica, bergamot and chervil can be planted in a shady corner or behind the other herbs. Although the leaves of marjoram, thyme and oregano are always available, they are even more poignant when dried.
