In the spirit of the slow food movement, today I am featuring my friend Jessica’s new garden. I LOVE IT! Its so cute and sitting out there in the sun has got to be so refreshing! I think her’s is a great example of how anyone, with any amount of space can begin caring for their own food and plants. Caring for our own plants not only bring us closer to nature and helps to promote environmental health, it has also been known to improve air quality (indoors and outdoors) and promote good health. Potted plants throughout the home and outside of the home disperse negative energy and herbs support digestion and double as a multivitamin. From the grandest farmer’s market, to the single window box of herbs and spices, we all can make a difference in our own health and the health of our world.
