HONOLULU (HI Now) - Starting a herb garden at home is easier than most people think — and you don’t need a yard to do it. A shallow container, some sunlight, and a few beginner-friendly herbs like green onions, basil, or mint are all it takes to get going on a kitchen counter or lanai. Whether you start with seeds or starter plants, small wins early on help build confidence for new gardeners. In Hawaiʻi, growing even a little of your own food goes beyond convenience — it’s a meaningful step toward food resilience and reducing the islands’ dependence on imported goods.
