We here at Pretty Things & Cool Stuff believe everyone should learn how to grow an organic, sustainable garden — small or large, indoors and/or outdoors — for these reasons, and more:
1. First-hand experience with how everything is connected, and how one element can impact others, from seed to harvest and from soil, to water, air and the surrounding living ecosystem — your own microcosm of the planet.
2. Growing your own food organically is good for your health and pocketbook. It is more nutritious and also tastes better, and you can grow varieties not available in grocery stores.
3. It's good for your mind and brain. There is so much to discover about growing things if one wants to learn. It can be an endless and very fulfilling and rewarding lifelong journey!
And, growing things can be good for your mental health and help to reduce stress. The more we connect with Mother Earth the better, for all kinds of reasons!
So, we have put together what the Grow Your Own Indoor / Outdoor Bee & Bird Friendly Gardening Kit with Botanical Interests Seed to make it easy to start growing plants that are good for you, your family and for our precious ecosystems and Mother Earth.
We also are very proud to offer as part of the Kit, very high quality, organic and Non-GMO Project Verified seeds from Botanical Interests!
