A mason jar herb garden is the perfect spring craft.  Grab some jars and some herb seed and start your plants today, then harvest your herbs later this spring for tons of fresh dishes or to create some DIY herbal sachets!

Mason Jar Herb Garden

If you love all things rustic and farmhouse, a mason jar herb garden is just waiting for you. Mason jar gardening is growing in popularity and it’s a pretty way to display your favorite herbs.  Create your own with pint or quart jars, potting soil and seeds.  Marking your herbs has never been easier when you use a roll of outdoor vinyl with a Cricut machine.

Rather buy it? These vintage-inspired mason jar planters use a passive hydroponic system that makes it easy to grow your own herbs.

    I saved the file marker and uploaded to design space. The words did not come through clearly as a cut image. I had to create my own. Not sure if I did something wrong. My option was to save as a .jpg
