You can grow herbs outdoors in Iran

If you live in a high-rise and still want to experience planting your own herbs outdoors, don't miss this story.  

It's a common problem: you live in an apartment, and you have a green thumb. You have a garden in your backyard, but the land is limited.

You really want to be able to grow your plants somewhere that's more accessible, where you won't be worried about someone stealing them or stepping on them by accident.

In the Iranian capital city of Tehran, there is a park with some designated fields for those who wish to grow their own plants in a place away from their apartments.

The fields are best for growing herbs and plants like rosemary and mint, which are commonly used in Persian cooking.

These fields are free for any resident of Tehran who wishes to use them—just go to the park office and tell them what you are looking to grow. They will give you seeds to grow your own plants.
