Finding the Perfect Herbs

Choosing the right herbs for your apartment is key. Certain herbs thrive in smaller spaces, like basil, mint, rosemary, and cilantro. These varieties are perfect for indoor growth, bringing both flavor and sophisticated greenery to your apartment. Place them near sunny windows to ensure they get enough natural light. Using elegant pots or decorative planters adds a touch of sophistication to your space, enhancing the aesthetic while keeping your herbs healthy.

How To Dry Out Your Herbs

Once your herbs are fully grown, it’s time to dry them out for long-term use. Start by harvesting the herbs before they flower, ensuring you capture their most robust flavors. Gently rinse and pat them dry to remove any dust or dirt. For the best results, bundle the herbs and hang them upside down in a cool, dry place. Alternatively, you can spread them on a baking sheet and use a low-temperature oven for quicker drying. Once fully dried, store the herbs in glass jars or airtight containers to preserve their freshness. These jars can double as decor, adding a natural and rustic element to your apartment.

Growing herbs in your apartment at Evo St. Pete not only enhances your living space but also connects you to a community focused on sustainability and creativity. Enjoy fresh, flavorful herbs all year while making your apartment feel even more like home.
