Tips from Stephanie Moram, Green Living Expert and founder of goodgirlgonegreen.com
Reuse Items: Egg cartons make great individual seed pods, and plastic containers from strawberries and tomatoes make perfect greenhouses for plants that need a bit more warmth and sunlight!
Grow It Again: You can plant seeds from strawberry skin and other fruit, root potatoes, and use the bases of celery, shallots and more to turn what would be waste into your very own at-home food source.
Repurpose Household Items as Gardening Tools: Turn an old blender top into a watering can, repurpose school supplies like scissors and rulers to support growing plants, and use an old shower caddy to organize all of it.

We love Tata Harper products because they are formulated, manufactured and packaged by hand right on their farm in Vermont. Everything inside this Restorative Eye Crème is found in nature including 30
high-performing ingredients such as Spanish lavender, narcissus bulb and date seed. This multi-correctional eye cream brightens, smooths, depuffs, and hydrates to rejuvenate signs of aging and fatigue. And now it comes in refillable packaging that is environmentally responsible with a lighter footprint on the earth.
