Living at Avion Riverwalk provides the perfect setting for cultivating your own herb garden right at home. Growing herbs in an apartment is a simple and stylish way to enhance both your space and your cooking. Whether you prefer fresh herbs or dried for later use, you can easily make and store them without needing a big backyard.

Finding the Perfect Herbs

The key to growing herbs at home is selecting varieties that thrive indoors. Popular choices include basil, thyme, parsley, and oregano. These herbs are not only easy to grow but also add a sophisticated touch of greenery to your apartment decor. Place your herb pots in a sunny spot, like near a kitchen window, to ensure they get enough natural light. Use decorative planters or stylish containers that blend with your interior design, bringing both function and beauty to your space.

How To Dry Out Your Herbs

Once your herbs have grown to their full potential, drying them for storage is easy. Start by cutting the herbs just before they begin to flower, which is when their flavor is strongest. Rinse them gently to remove any dirt, then pat them dry. You can dry herbs by hanging them in small bundles in a cool, dry space, or you can use the oven method by spreading the herbs on a baking sheet and placing them in a low-temperature oven. After they’ve dried out completely, store them in airtight glass jars or chic containers to maintain freshness. Not only will they be ready to use in your cooking, but these jars also add a rustic, decorative element to your apartment.
