If you read our article on easy-to-grow plants for beginners and started your urban garden this way, you might want to expand it with a few aromatic herbs.
Would you like to have some aromatic plants in your urban garden? Aromatic herbs are an excellent option for growing at home because, in addition to being usable in practically any recipe, they are also usually quite easy to grow. Therefore, if you have just started in horticulture, we recommend that you try to grow some of these 5 aromatic plants for your urban garden.
1. Thyme among easy-to-grow aromatic plants
Thyme is an aromatic plant for your urban garden because, in addition to being easy to grow, it is also a fast-growing perennial herb. It is also characterized by its great resistance to cold, so it can be grown on your balcony at any time of the year. The only thing you will have to keep in mind if you plant thyme in your urban garden is that the substrate you choose has very good drainage and that it receives a few hours of direct sunlight.
2. Parsley, essential in any urban garden

If there is one herb that is used in every kitchen in the world, it is parsley. Therefore, we can consider that this plant should be (almost) obligatorily in any urban garden. Remember to sow it from seeds during spring-summer in fertile soil and water it with plenty of water if you live in a place with a dry climate.
3. Basil, the Mediterranean plant par excellence
Basil is a plant used to prepare both salads and different sauces. If you want to have it in your garden, you will have to wait until summer to grow it since this plant is unable to withstand the cold. However, if you have a greenhouse, you can sow it during the colder months.
4. Oregano, aromatic plants for your urban garden

If you live in a warm and dry region, oregano will be a very suitable plant for your urban garden as it grows much better in these conditions. In addition to these needs, oregano is a plant that needs soil with good drainage capacity and several hours of light.
5. Rosemary, a very common plant in any garden

Finally, among the aromatic plants for the urban garden that we should include is rosemary. In addition to being a condiment for many culinary recipes, rosemary is a very easy plant to grow as it tolerates droughts and is very resistant to different pests, so you won't have to spend a lot of money on its maintenance. All it will need is a substrate with drainage capacity and a sunny spot.
