Knowing the common plant names is important for you to establish a good windowsill herb garden. A lot of botanical shops deal with seeds and full-grown plants using their common plant names, and therefore you must be in a position to match these names with scientific names. There are many methods to do such a job. You can use plant databases and plant encyclopedias, as these references would give you images of the plants together with the list of all of their names. If you have kept any of the seed packets when you bought your plants, you will see that they generally tend to name the scientific name with the common plant name.

Home gardening refers to any small activity that you carry around the house from watering the flowers and misting fertilizers or insecticides to lawn mowing and landscaping. Gardening is a popular occupation, and for lots of good reasons: it’s relaxing for some, while others want to enjoy the beauty of harvesting crops or they just try to go organic. In starting your herb garden, there is much more to be said about motivation, but it usually differs from case to case.
