Top 5 “Summer Essentials” Gifts

1) Self-Watering Windowsill Herb Garden
How does your kitchen window herb garden grow? Out of your own recycled glass bottle, thanks to the folks at Urban Leaf. Pop one of the smart soil inserts and included seeds into a water-filled bottle, place it in a window, and the herbs are ready to grow. They even water themselves for the first 30 days.

2) 3-Tier Portable Greenhouse
Plants get their own designated, insulated spot to grow and get some protection from too much light—and pesky animals. Portable to roll along where you want it—and the doors open up and tie back for easy access.

3) Grow Your Own Green Onion Kit

4) Organic Compressed Potting Soil
Spade To Fork Organic Compressed Potting Soil makes a little go a long way. This rich potting soil has a soft and light peat moss base that is enhanced with essential, organic plant nutrients to give your plants vigor, health, and vitality. Great for indoor or outdoor use. Ideal for houseplants, garden beds, seed starting, and plant starts.

5) Water Generating Planter
This self-watering planter draws in air through its unique water generating system to ensure a consistent supply of moisture laden air. Constant airflow plus a cooled environment inside the Dewplanter means that water droplets will naturally form as moisture in the air condenses. The generated water droplets are then directly channeled into the plant's roots through the drip irrigation system, ensuring a healthy supply of water over time.
