Starting your gardening journey? Begin with herbs! They’re low-maintenance, useful in the kitchen, and perfect for small spaces. At Backyard Botanics, we recommend these five beginner-friendly herbs: basil, mint, rosemary, oregano, and lemongrass. All thrive in Philippine climates with just 4–6 hours of sunlight and well-draining soil. Plant them in terracotta pots or raised beds, water when the topsoil feels dry, and harvest regularly to encourage bushy growth. Not only do they add flavor to your meals—they also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies! Ready to grow your own? We’ve curated starter kits with organic seeds and eco-pots to help you begin with confidence.
