Window-Mounted Hanging Herb Garden

Have your favorite herbs nearby for your cooking adventures with this window mount herb garden. 

You will need: 1” conduit (enough to make two pieces as long as your window is wide)/ tape measure/ permanent marker/ closet bar mounts (2 sets)/ pipe cutter/ screwdriver/ small galvanized buckets with handles (enough to fit width of window twice with a little room between each one)/ an awl/ potting soil/ trowel/ variety of herbs/ adhesive numbers (optional)/ craft knife (optional)

Measure the width of your window. Subtract 1/8” to 1/4” from that measurement to account for the closet bar mounts. Use that measurement to mark the 1” conduit and cut two pieces with a pipe cutter.

Determine where your bars will hang. Begin at thirds, but make adjustments as necessary depending on the height of the window, where the bottom of the pots will fall, and where the locks for the window are located. Install the closed-sided mount first with the included screws. Insert one of the cut pipes into the closed-sided mount and hold it in the open-sided half of the mount on the opposite side of the window. Use a level to make sure the pipe is even and mark the screw holes of the open-sided mount. Remove the pipe and attach the open-sided mount to the wall with the included screws.
