Steps to create a DIY herb wall:

1. Once you’ve decided on the space you’re going to use to create your herb wall, make sure to clear out anything on the shelves.
2. Assemble your wooden holders, or if you’ve bought different holders to us, they might already be assembled.
3. Place and arrange your wooden holders as desired on your shelves.
4. Get your herbs and plants and place them into the wooden holders. Arrange them however you wish – one holder of just herbs or maybe a mix of plants and herbs.
5. If you have any pieces you’d like to add to your shelves to personalise them and make them come to life, add them in now.
