If mason jars are not the main attraction to this spice rack, they sell small magnetized spice jars to hang on magnetic wall boards (i bought mine on Amazon) I hang mine on side of fridge without spices, but could be adapted to a wood board with metal squares or strips and then perhaps a few mason jars or just traditional sized spice jars with a little water to keep some sprigs of herbs at a time?

I like the herbs on the wall idea. But first you would need a light source like a grow light. Second you will have to fertilize the herbs
I grow mine on a flat table with drainage trays underneath them. You could have a pot in another pot for drainage but you don't want to keep your herbs or any other indoor plants wet, grow them on the dry side. As far as the little white bugs I'm think you mean white flies? Wet soil would bring fungus gnats which yes will get you a swarm of little black flying insects. They lay their larva in the soil and keep the cycle going. To avoid this problem and the white fly problem. Use yellow sticky cards to get rid of this and a Safer Soap or make your own with garlic, hot sauce and dish soap. You can get all this at any local garden center or hydroponic store.

I would just spritz them with a spray bottle every now and then.

You can buy some activated charcoal and line the bottom of the jar with them. That should help water remain sweet for the plants, and not ferment. Also, herbs and edible plants drink water and as you can always see how much you water, you can do some water management.

Don't the herbs need sun?

Yes, herbs need sun although they are good in a window. Many are also invasive and will self seed so be careful where you plant them outside.

Roughly translated the first poster is saying that they think the wall display is artificial but that real garden can be purchased.

The herb garden looks great. That kitchen must get a lot of natural light.

This website basically tells you how to do it. http://www.notjustahousewife.net/2011/08/mason-jar-wall-planter.html This pictured rack just the wooden boards vertically oriented and the mason jars are tilted. You can tilt them any way you want if you don't screw the clamps in too tight. My herbs were very unsuccessful but I was at a house with basically zero light, and I think I burned them when I got an artificial one. Give it a shot. If it doesn't work you can still use the rack for other things. Mine was right above a counter so I just filled my mason jars with sugar and other baking powders.

Christine Tusher added this to Plain-Sight Storage for the Kitchen Stuff You Use Most
Mount mason jars using pipe clips to create an indoor herb garden within easy reach of your stove and prep surfaces. Just beware: If you grow herbs indoors, they’ll need a very sunny space and lots of TLC. Don’t be surprised if you need to replace your plants every now and then.
