Summer in Boynton Beach is made for fresh starts, easy mornings, and that little extra green in your space. At Avion Riverwalk, the sunlight hits just right and the coastal breeze makes it easy to bring a bit of the outdoors in. If you’ve ever thought about growing herbs at home, this is your sign. No yard? No worries. Your kitchen counter, balcony, or even your windowsill is the perfect launchpad.
Stroll down to Common Grounds Brew & Roastery for your cold brew, then come home ready to grow. These five summer hacks will give your apartment the boost it needs—fresh, simple, and full of flavor.
Reuse and Repot with a Twist
Skip the store-bought pots and get creative. Clean out old jars, cute mugs, or even takeout containers. Add pebbles at the bottom for drainage, then fill with potting mix. Herbs like parsley, mint, and chives thrive in these setups. They’ll bring a fun, recycled charm to your counters—and they’re great conversation starters.
Rotate for the Sunshine Sweet Spot
Florida light is everything, but some herbs can be a little sensitive. Basil loves sun, but cilantro prefers a break in the afternoon. Rotate your plants every few days to find their sweet spot. Try your balcony in the morning, kitchen sill in the afternoon. Let the summer light work its magic.
Don’t Forget to Pinch
This is the golden rule of herb life: pinch early, pinch often. Snipping the top leaves helps your herbs grow fuller and bushier. Use your mint in iced tea or basil in your next salad. The more you use them, the better they grow. That’s the beauty of it.
Create a Balcony Herb Bar
If your place at Avion Riverwalk has balcony space, use it. Grab a multi-tiered planter or even a small shelving rack. Plant different herbs on each level—thyme, dill, and oregano love a little airflow. Add a stool, some cushions, and suddenly you’ve got your own little herb bar with a view.
Infuse Everything
Your summer drinks are begging for a little herbal twist. Freeze chopped rosemary in ice cubes, stir mint into lemonade, or muddle basil in sparkling water. Use what you grow to boost your happy hour or make a casual lunch feel like something special.
Bonus Spot: Check out Bond Street Ale and Coffee on Federal Hwy for more local flavors and design inspo. Then head back home with a few ideas for your new favorite plant corner.
