Kitchen gardening is the perfect alternative for people who love gardening but are short on space. It’s a well-known fact that growing your own vegetables and herbs saves you money, however, what a lot of people don’t realize is that this hobby has a profoundly positive impact on your health.

If you are interested in having a herb garden on your windowsill, then this blog is for you! Without further ado, check out the numerous benefits of having kitchen gardens of your own.

Benefits of Having a Kitchen Garden

Granted, planting your own vegetables and herbs requires a lot of patience, time, and effort. But it’s worth it! Have a look at the following advantages of having a kitchen garden at home and you’ll understand why:

  • Protects health
  • Saves money
  • Fights off food insecurity
  • Reduces stress
  • Increased nutrients
  • Contributes to sustainable living

Now, let us discuss each one of them in detail.

Protects health

There is no denying the fact that plants have a calming influence not only on the body, but also on the mind. In fact, some species not only add beauty and color to your home décor but also purify the indoor air.

That is why, on our list of the pros of kitchen gardening, health ranks first. Even if you don’t have a separate green space, you can simply create a herb garden on your windowsill or in the empty space of your backyard and reap the benefits of having a kitchen garden. Not only would you receive a fresh supply of oxygen, but you’d also observe how it will add an aesthetic element to your home decor.

Saves money

Saves big time on groceries

Another major benefit of having a kitchen garden is that it can actually help you save big time on groceries. If you grow fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, basil, and coriander in your kitchen garden, you wouldn’t need to go and buy them to enjoy a fresh fattoush salad. Because almost all the major ingredients are right there in your kitchen garden.

Nothing guarantees the freshness of the ingredients than home-grown vegetables and herbs. The best bit about growing a kitchen garden is that most of the vegetables and herbs can be produced from leftover kitchen scraps (read: compost). If you are more interested in knowing how leftover food items can produce good quality vegetables, read our blog on Making a compost using kitchen waste

Fights off food insecurity

You can get a fresh supply of herbs and vegetables in your kitchen garden

Another major reason or benefit of having a kitchen garden is that it also helps in fighting off food insecurity. If you produce your own set of vegetables that you regularly consume, you won’t need to go buy them from a local grocery store.

So, if there is a shortage of, let’s say tomatoes in the market, you would be least bothered about it. Because you have a bunch of ripe cherry tomatoes on your windowsill – ready to be used!

Access to fresh and healthy vegetables

One of the best benefits of kitchen gardens is that it provides a fresh variety of vegetables, free from harmful pesticides and chemicals that can cause serious health issues. You can get organic, home-grown vegetables at home without really making a lot of effort.

Increased nutrients

The best way to guarantee increased nutrients is to grow a kitchen garden as you would ensure that the produce is pure and free from harmful chemicals. Moreover, you can also make sure the garden produce has all the desired micronutrients needed for a healthy variety of fruits and vegetables. Turn the kitchen waste, like vegetable and fruit peels into a good compost.

Contributes to sustainable living

Sustainable gardening is all the rage these days. Sustainability doesn’t only mean utilizing resources but also conserving them. It is a practice that brings a change in the way you live. 

Not only how to compost kitchen throw-outs, but even conserving water and growing plants from cut-out pieces of vegetables are all part of sustainable gardening. You can also save seeds from the previous harvest. For instance, if all the marigold flowers have wilted, you can store the seeds and dry them out so that they can be sown in the next season.

When you grow your own kitchen garden, you decide what goes into the soil and plants – be it natural fertilizers, good quality compost, organic seeds or natural pesticides.
