Small Space Gardening: A Kit to Grow Windowsill Herbs - Gardenista
Inspired by their life in a tiny apartment, Chicago-based designers Nick Behr and Sarah Burrows devised a space-saving way to grow herbs—without a garden, soil, or a space bigger than a windowsill.
Raising more than $60,000 from a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 enabled them to launch their Modern Sprout collection of hydroponic kits.
From Modern Sprout, a Hydroponic Eco Planter Seed Kit in a reusable glass container is $30 at Anthropologie.
The Eco Planters ($30) also are available directly from Modern Sprout.

The kit comes with instructions and materials, including a hemp wick to draw up water into a stainless steel pot, to sprout seeds in a grow medium (a coco pith disk and pebbles).
Kits come with seeds to grow (clockwise, from Left) basil, parsley, cilantro, or mint.

The frosted jar makes it easy to see the water line.
