Aromatic Herb Gardens

Living Ingredients

There is a profound theatricality in reaching over during a dinner party, snipping a sprig of fresh rosemary, and dropping it directly onto resting lamb chops. A balcony herb garden serves dual purposes: it provides lush, organic decor during the day, and hyper-local ingredients by night.

When selecting planters for a balcony, prioritize verticality and drainage. Terracotta pots—a nod to our signature aesthetic—are highly breathable and prevent root rot, though they require more frequent watering in high-wind urban environments.

Essential Balcony Cultivars

  • Rosemary: Hardy and robust. Withstands wind and intense sun. Perfect for skewering meats.
  • Thyme: A creeping herb that looks beautiful spilling over the edge of a railing planter. Releases a fragrant oil when brushed against.
  • Basil: Delicate and sensitive to cold, but irreplaceable for summer Italian alfresco dining. Keep in a sheltered corner.
