Indoor Herb Gardening

Grow Fresh Herbs Indoors

Terms of Use

Last updated: October 6, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to your use of Indoor Herb Gardening (“the site”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

What the site provides

The site publishes free guides about growing herbs indoors, for general information and personal enjoyment. We work to keep the guides clear and accurate, but we do not promise that every guide is free of errors or that you will get a particular result by following it. Plants are living things, and how one grows depends on the herb and its variety, its health, the pot, the potting mix, the light, the season and the conditions in your home. The guides describe what to check and what usually helps; they are not a diagnosis of your plant, and the ranges and time estimates in them are approximate.

General gardening information, not advice

The content on the site is general gardening information. It is not medical, nutritional or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who can look at your situation. Herbs are discussed only as plants to grow for the kitchen, and the site makes no statements about their effect on the body. You follow the guides at your own risk, and you are responsible for deciding whether a suggestion suits your plant and your home.

Plant identification, pets and product labels

You are responsible for identifying your plants correctly. Keep the label or the seed packet with each pot, and do not use a plant in the kitchen unless you are sure what it is.

Some herbs are listed as toxic to pets. Where a guide mentions whether a plant is listed as toxic or non-toxic to pets, it names the source of that statement and links to it, and you should check that source for the exact plant you own. If a pet eats part of a plant and you are not sure it is harmless, contact a veterinarian right away.

If you use a fertilizer, a pest control product or any other product mentioned in a guide, read the product label and follow it. The label on the product you bought takes priority over anything written on this site, including whether the product may be used on plants grown for food, how long to wait before harvesting, and its directions on dilution, protective gear, ventilation, storage and keeping the product away from children and pets.

Using our content

Unless stated otherwise, the text, illustrations and design of the site belong to Indoor Herb Gardening. You are welcome to:

  • read, print and use the guides for personal, classroom, library or other non-commercial purposes;
  • share a link to any page;
  • quote short passages with a clear credit and a link back to the original page.

Please do not republish whole guides or illustrations, sell them, or present them as your own work without written permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site. This includes attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with how the site works, sending spam or unlawful content through the contact form, or copying the site in bulk by automated means beyond what is needed for normal search engine indexing.

The site links to a small number of third-party reference pages that we think are useful. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, Indoor Herb Gardening is not liable for any loss, damage, injury or illness arising from your use of the site or from following its guides, including the loss of a plant and harm to a person or an animal. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how information is handled when you use the site.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when they were last revised. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
