How many of you like the idea of growing your own food? It feels like everywhere we look, processed food is everywhere, not to mention the worry of what chemicals may have touched vegetables or herbs entering our bodies. While some of what the media talks about is nothing more than scare tactics, others may you step back and wonder if it is better to just grow some of your food at home. Scares, real or imagined, aren’t the only concern – add in the fact that herbs are often extremely expensive in stores. While I have always had a little plant area in our house, I have been toying with the ideas of growing my own herbs in the house, especially after having a lot of success with a small garden outside this past year. After doing a bit of research, I decided it was finally time to start our little garden. One company quickly caught our attention when it came to organic, easy gardens – Back to the Roots.
Back to the Roots: Mushroom Farm
Looking for an easy way to grow mushroom s that is great for kids and adults alike? If so, we think you will love the Back to the Roots Mushroom Farm. What makes this kit so cool is that it allows you to grow organic oyster mushrooms from the box in just 10 days. All you have to do is open the box, mist with water, and wait to harvest the mushrooms 10 days later. Not only do you get fun mushrooms, you also get heirloom tomato seeds to grow with the composted mushroom kit! Since this box can last for months, it is great to give as a gift for mushroom lovers to use anytime, or busy parents who want to help their children learn about growing food, but don’t have the time to start this project right away. These mushrooms and the included tomato seeds are USDA organic and non-GMO certified. Currently, you can buy the Mushroom Farm on the Back to the Roots website for only $19.99.
Back to the Roots: Garden in a Jar
Want to brighten up your kitchen with beautiful, useful plants? If so, we think you will love the Back to the Roots Garden in a Jar. These beautiful jars allow you to grow three herbs – basil, cilantro, and mint – in your kitchen without any hassle or mess. Each of these jars contain USDA organic and non-GMO certified seeds and nutrient rich soil without chemicals to give you beautiful organic herbs that will grow for months. Best of all, they don’t need transplanting later. You can buy the Garden in a Jar for only $27.99 on the Back to the Roots website.
Back to the Roots: Garden in a Can
When I first heard of Back to the Roots, it was through one of their signature products – their Garden in a Can Set. Each of these ready to grow cans are a fun, easy way to grow organic herbs without having to worry about mess, drainage holes, chemicals, or transplanting. As well, the cans are packed with nutrient rich soil to help your plants grow healthy and perfect for future cooking. Like all of their plants, they are also USDA organic and non-GMO certified. This organic herb set comes with four ready to go plants in a can – basil, cilantro, sage, and dill. Currently, you can buy the Garden in a Can Set for only $24.99.

December 23, 2016 at 7:46 pmAs Desiree mentioned, this would be great in a classroom setting. I do miss my fresh herbs in the winter. My son’s rabbit would love having her own mint plant.

Kelly says
January 10, 2017 at 7:47 pmI want to do one of those mushroom farms so bad. They are so cool, and I love mushrooms. I probably would need a full mushroom village to supply my family.

Lori Thomas says

lisa says
January 15, 2017 at 1:15 pmI like having fresh herbs. They taste better than dried and smell good. We grew mushrooms a few years ago. It was kind of a mess.
Marsha C says
January 17, 2017 at 11:18 amI love these. I garden outside, but living in Wisconsin gives us a short growing season. I have to get some of these and start gardening indoors!
Michelle S says
January 25, 2017 at 10:24 amThese are both useful and pretty! We have an outdoor garden but the herbs would be fun to do in the house.
Kimberly Flickinger says
February 4, 2017 at 2:31 pmI have been wanting to start my own herb garden, thank you for sharing.
Carrie says
March 4, 2017 at 1:02 amThis is the sort of thing I’d gladly give as a gift to a kid or to anyone who wants to eat healthily or anyone who is new to growing their own food or to anyone who may have limited space for growing. Practical, valuable and easy. Good stuff.
Lynne B says
March 7, 2017 at 4:24 pmI love the idea of growing herbs indoor. I fear, however, that I would kill them. lol
Cindy S. says
March 12, 2017 at 10:07 amThese look so fun and easy too. I think my kids would love this. Thanks for sharing.
Bryan Vice says

lisa says
March 19, 2017 at 2:59 pmWe have our seeds planted and sprouting in the mudroom. Just waiting on the weather to warm up so we can get them planted.
Mary says
May 3, 2017 at 12:05 amThe only reason I don’t grow vegetables indoors is because gnats seem to come with the growth.
Linda Szymoniak says
July 15, 2017 at 2:05 amI’ve been working on making what i cook healthier, and experimenting with many different recipes (I especially love trying dishes from various other countries). I really don’t think dried herbs do many of the dishes justice, and do buy fresh ones from the grocery at times. I’ve been wanting to start my own herb garden, and this looks like it would be a great way to do this. Also, what a great gift idea! I know others who would benefit from having fresh herbs readily available.
Deb E says
August 28, 2017 at 12:20 amI love them both in a jar and can and I’d love to either give or get one of these as a gift. This would work well in a small apartment too.
