Eco-Chic | Bamboo Grow Pots

Green thumb optional. For those wanting to grow their own herbs but lack any gardening skills (or an actual garden), Bamboo Grow Pots by Potting Shed Creations are an ingenious solution. The handmade, sustainable bamboo pots come with organic soil and your choice of herb seeds including Lavender, Oregano, Basil or Parsley. The lacquered lid cleverly becomes the saucer for the plants.

Tied with a ribbon made from recycled plastic bottles, the Bamboo Grow Pots ($22 each) make perfect housewarming gifts. To create a fragrant herb garden, consider buying the matching rack ($14), made from recycled steel. The rack fits three pots and is compact enough for a kitchen counter or windowsill.
