    As I am traveling this week, I have done just this. Instead of spending money and buying disposable, plastic soap and hygiene containers, I chose to purchase reusable containers that allow me to draw from my larger containers at home.

    Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

    Having a garden allows me to reduce packaging that I would otherwise be using at the grocery store.
