Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set
Charlemagne, King of the Franks, once said, “An herb is the friend of physicians and the praise of cooks.” Using fresh herbs in your recipes can add extraordinary flavor to some of your favorite dishes and allow you to cut back on salt, fat and sugar. Researchers have long praised herbs for their antioxidant properties and their ability to improve the body’s functioning. Some of the most commonly grown herbs include basil, which is great in pasta sauce and any tomato dish; chives, which goes into many dips, potato dishes and alongside tomato; and oregano, a compliment to tomatoes and peppers. You can find all three of these delicious herbs in the Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set for less than $20.
“You won’t believe the difference in flavor between using dried seasonings and using the herbs you’ll grow with our classic Italian Herb Garden Trio. You can’t get fresher ingredients,” says the official description. The Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set comes with three attractive, green, 7 inch stoneware planters; a 13-inch long drip tray; seeds for three aromatic herbs (basil, oregano and chives); growing instructions; and peat soil pellets (which will expand when exposed to water). As with any garden, buyers will need to pay attention to water, temperature and sunlight requirements to achieve success with this product. If you like this kit, you can also buy the French Herb Garden Trio, with Parsley, marjoram and lemon basil. For $11.95, you can also buy Amazon’s “Assortment of 12 Culinary Herb Seeds” that includes parsley, thyme, cilantro/coriander, basil, dill, oregano, sweet marjoram, chives, garlic, mustard and sage — and can be grown in the same pots if you’d like.
Consumers say the Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set makes a great present for spouses, friends and newlyweds. The drip tray is a convenient way for people to water the plants without destroying the house and to retain moisture during the dry winter. The reusable pots can hold cat nip or other spices if you’d like, which buyers seem to like. They can sit on windowsills, countertops or office desks to add a little bit of life to your space. The plants can grow to four or five inches if you take care of them and be used to garnish sauces, potatoes, veggies and meats. Most online reviews appear favorable, as people relish in their gift finding abilities.
On the downside, an Italian Herb Garden Trio: Indoor Garden Gift Set reviewer from Tennessee complained that the seeds did not grow with the soil provided or outside. “The pots are the only good thing about this product,” the buyer writes, adding: “The second time i tried it i had about 10 little chive plants grow and that was it.” Similarly, another man commented he was “happy with the ceramic tray and containers — not happy with the seeds. One had no seeds and the seeds in the other two failed to produce.” An Arizonan complained that the chives never materialized and months later, hardly anything had sprouted. A woman from Pennsylvania received her kit without any seeds included, much to her dismay. “Finding gardening seeds in the dead of winter is no simple feat, and for the almost $40 (with shipping) that I paid for this item, I would not expect to have to deal with trying to find them anyhow,” she wrote.
