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

    I think it’s going to be very rewarding to see the (literal) fruits of my labor. I have never been super successful with plants, but I currently have a thriving basil plant so I decided to try some lettuc and other herbs to add to my little windowsill garden. I was also able to reuse a cardboard egg carton to plant them in, which gave that a new use as well!

    In the last year and a half I have taken a lot of steps towards reducing my plastic waste and I am looking forward to discovering more ways I can do that!
