We just love these juice bottle herb planters. They make a great gardening activity for kids, the juice bottle acts like a mini greenhouse so the herbs grow faster and best of all you’ll get lots of fresh herbs throughout the summer.
You can make these herb planters with kids of any age, although younger kids may need a little help with the cutting.
