Formerly a long-term resident of Hawaii, Jonathan Vrban recently moved to Las Vegas as part of a transition to working in real estate. Jonathan (Jon) Vrban is an avid traveler who enjoys creating exotic dishes in his own kitchen using homegrown fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Growing an herb garden is a simple and affordable way to inject fresh flavor into your cooking. Adding an interesting herb can transform a boring chicken dish into something spectacular, and side dishes such as potatoes can come alive with the creative addition of herbs. Planting an herb garden offers the opportunity to expand beyond what is available in the supermarket. For example, you might plant any one of 30 varieties of basil, among them the lovely purple opal basil or the delicate globe basil. An herb garden also requires relatively little space. It can be planted on an apartment balcony in pots, or even on a kitchen windowsill. In addition to the culinary benefits, the actual practice of gardening or tending to herbs has health advantages. Gardening is proven to relieve stress, while the smells associated with a fragrant herb garden can be calming and relaxing.
