An Herb Sconce would be a wall mounted decorative sconce that contained a pot to grow useful cooking herbs in. The sconce also holds a water reservoir and siphon feed that you can add nutrient or fertilizer pills into.
At the top of the sconce is a shaded grow light that is controlled by a 12 hr timer.
Some wiring will be required, but you will have quick access to fresh herbs without having to worry about accidentally including caterpillars or other high protein additions when you harvest.
The decorative sconce molding may also include text for herb usage, care, etc.-- Zimmy, Dec 16 2005random, halfbakery
