Combine the beauty of bonsai trees with the practicality of a herb garden by creating a bonsai herb garden in your kitchen. Choose small herb plants that can be trained as bonsai, such as rosemary, thyme, or basil. Arrange them in a shallow bonsai pot or tray, and place it on your kitchen countertop or windowsill. Not only will you have fresh herbs at your fingertips for cooking, but you'll also have a stunning display of miniature trees.
