When it comes to natural enrichment, few things are as transformative as an organic herb garden for cats. These “herbal playgrounds” aren’t just about playtime; they support your cat’s emotional balance and physical well-being.
And no, you don’t have to get out the gardening gloves or have a green thumb.
An organic herb garden for cats is a soil-free way to allow cats to interact with therapeutic herbs that support their physical and emotional health. These aren’t plants you pot or water – instead, they’re blends of USDA certified organic dried herbs that you lay out for your cat to explore. Think of it as a sensory playground… with healing benefits.
We originally learned about this special feline enrichment from the groundbreaking work of Julie Anne Heart of Naturally Cats. We’d never even thought about putting dried herbs down for our cats to explore – or that they could help our cats with health or behavioral issues. Catnip was about the extent of our familiarity with herbs for cats. When Julie-Anne discontinued her gardens a few years back, many in our community – including us – were saddened our cats would no longer experience this enrichment.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce our collaboration with Moon Mojo Feline’s herbalist Lora Lee Medley! With the blessing of Julie-Anne, we’ve launched four Feline Essential Gardens by Moon Mojo! Each garden is USDA certified organic, hand-packed by Lora Lee herself, and specifically designed for self-selection. That means your cat gets to decide which herbs they want, when, and how they want to interact with them.
🌿 How to Create Your Cat’s Herb Garden
-
Choose a clean towel, blanket, or small rug.
-
Sprinkle a small pinch of each dried herb in different corners or spots on the surface (each garden comes with a variety of herbs).
-
Set it down in a calm space – and let your cat explore!
That’s it. No planting, no pots, no watering. Just organic herbs and your cat’s natural instincts.
Why does self-selection matter?
Cats are deeply intuitive. When given the chance, they’ll choose the herbs that help them feel better – whether they’re dealing with stress, aging, tension, or simply need a little mood boost. Watching them sniff, lick, roll, or even just lie beside certain herbs gives you clues about what their body or spirit needs.
Each garden is thoughtfully blended:
-
Boundless is great for any age or temperament, offering playful and calming benefits.
-
Calm helps ease stress from travel, holidays, or big life changes.
-
Peace supports harmony in multi-cat households or during introductions.
-
Ageless encourages senior kitties to move, play, and feel good again.
This is enrichment, communication, and wellness – all rolled into one beautiful ‘playground’. We are so honored to be a part of bringing this special gift back to our cats – and yours!
