Do you have space for a kitchen herb garden...on your bench top?
This awkward corner space in the Mia Bella kitchen is a perfect spot for potted thyme, oregano, parsley and chives.
With lovely bright morning sun, the pots are happy to stay in place for the entire summer.
Add a jug of hydroponic lettuces (roots intact and sitting in water)...
for fresh picked lettuce for the sandwiches.
Add a vase of pretty blooms...
Like these crisp white paper whites, with their glorious scent!
And you have a beautiful kitchen vignette.
During the winter months, as it is now in New Zealand, the growth of the plants has slowed down, so the pots need a little time in the sunshine outdoors.
Southern Hemisphere temperatures mean you can pop them outside for a week, then bring them back inside again.
(I do this 2 or 3 times over the winter, especially when we have a rainy weather week.)
I've had my kitchen herb garden on the bench top for over a year now.
And I LOVE the convenience of the herbs right where you are cooking, and the look of it!

WHat a lovely spot you chose too! Being in that kitchen and smelling those herbs must be heavenly....
Love herbs in the kitchen. Those look so pretty. Thanks so much for sharing your photos. Visitng from The Pretty Pintastic Party. :)
I love the wire baskets you used! I keep herbs in my kitchen too and they are so great to have on hand when cooking. I'm hosting a link party at my blog www.inthenewhouse.com on Thursday and I'd love for you to stop by and share one of your posts. I hope to see you there! --Lela @ In The New House Designs
Visiting from Something to Talk about link party! I love your little herb garden in your kitchen. I always wondered how herbs would do indoors.. I think I am going to try! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely morning sun in this kitchen...the herbs seem to enjoy that. :)
Thank you for visiting Kim :)
Thank you for the invitation Lela.
I hope you do Misty, I would be without them now. And I have just started up some others - coriander, and a different parsley, so when I take some of the pots outdoors for their real sun holiday, I have more to bring in. Rotate the pots is a new idea I'm trying out.
