    Hi, I live in an apartment in DUblin with no garden or balcony and I'm interested in growing an indoor herb garden. I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for garden centres or sites for being the plants and equipment.

    There is a little garden shop on Mary Street that might suit you called Mr Middleton. Close to bus and luas lines if you're only grabbing something small

    I have used the pots from Lidl and Supervalu - Instant herb garden which you can keep going for quite some time by looking after them - less than 2 euro each - I put them on inside windowsill - have Parsley - Rosemary - Thyme - Basil - Chives - Mint - and something else ...

    I do re-pot them into bigger pots as they need a bit more space and compost than the pots that you buy them in.

    Lidl and Aldi sell the live plants for around €2 each, can't go wrong. They're constantly in stock so don't worry about missing an offer.

    Just get yourself 2 or 3 and put them in a window box. Lidl / Aldi usually sell the compost too for €1.50.

    Mint for water, chives for cooking & whatever else tickles your fancy.
