    I guess it would depend on what you use them for and how large a quantity of each one you have.

    I pickup interesting jars at thrift stores to keep mine in and write the name on the side of the jar with a silver paint pen. I have some from the grocery, some I grew and dried and others I bought at local herb shops...they are used in cooking, making incense, tea, shampoo, etc.

    This is my 'goodies' wall. Herbs, candle scents and colors, soap scents and colors and assorted doo-dads.
    Mostly cooking herbs are in the brown jars, 3rd shelf from the bottom on the left.
    Other herbs are in the assorted jars on the first long shelf above that.

    This is an example of the different jars I keep them in.

    Do you mean dried herbs or fresh herbs?

    I am similar to Toni as I have large quantities of some herbs, so different jars are used. I try to use ones that seal really well to keep the herbs as fresh as possible. I have mine on a shelf in the kitchen, and the small jars in a shop purchased rack in one of my cupboards.

    I display my herb (fresh) on a quaint white pot. Nothing fancy, and just by the widow enough to get sunlight. With my dried herbs, since I dry them myself, I hand them above my counter top (hanging by their stems).
