Short and sweet, The complete Chia Herb Garden kit comes with four 3-inch terra cotta pots, four matching saucers, four plastic saucer liners, four Chia Growing Sponges, six seed packets, six plant markers, instructions, and a few recipes.

Will it give you loads of herbs?  Probably not.  The parsley we grew gave us enough produce for one meal.  The basil grew great, but it's not tough to get a good basil plant sprouting.  One thing to note, is you'll need to add plenty of water daily once the herbs get going. They suck up the water fast when they begin to mature.

These would make a great project for children.  Planting seeds, watching them grow, and eating the results would be fun.  Not too much work involved either.

We still like our aerogarden for growing herbs indoors, and good old sunlight and big pots/in the ground for outside, but the Chia Herb Garden does have it's niche, even if a small one.
