10 Herbs and Vegetables (And a Fruit) That Are Easy to Grow Indoors
We’re taking a twist on gardening this spring at Postconsumers and looking at ways to garden when you’re in a more urban environment.

Using Plants to Teach Your Children Eco-Lessons
It’s planting month at Postconsumers, and we’re focusing our content on gardening advice that may not be so common. We always like to talk about ways to instill postconsumer and eco-friendly values in children. Gardening season is no exception – and neither is simply using indoor plants to teach your child about the earth (as opposed to the world!).
