Having your own herb garden can be very beneficial to you and your family. You tend to feel very accomplished when your plants grow and thrive. And having fresh herbs in your recipes can take your dish from great to WOW! Not to mention the savings. For example, a 1/2 oz. of fresh basil at the grocery store will run you $2-$3 dollars, whereas you can spend a few dollars to get a plant that will give you that same amount over and over again. And who knows, maybe it will inspire you to eat healthier!
