Most of my herbs are Mediterranean so they love fun sun with a minimum of 6 hours and well drained soil with occasional water. Personally I have never had any luck growing inside. If you have a sunny window, the older kind without UV filters or tinting you may have some luck, but but your success will be marginal. Do you have a friend with a terrace you could set up a whiskey barrel or large pot or who has an unused corner in their garden you could put in a small herb patch. Even in the heat of summer they only need water once a week. Some senior center work with Master Gardeners or garden clubs who will help put in a raised bed and contribute herb starts from their gardens. Even if the seniors aren't cooking with them they like being able to take a pinch and smell them.
