Grow Your Own Mushroom Garden

Grow Your Own Mushroom Garden

Why they’ll love it: Gets the whole family involved in growing veggies…indoors!

A simple family project and a delicious treat, this kit from Back to the Roots allows home chefs to harvest up to 1.5 pounds of tasty pearl oyster mushrooms. A terrific way to get friends and family excited about incorporating more veggies into their daily meals, each box yields at least two crops, and the first crop grows within 10 days. Users simply set the kit on a windowsill and mist twice a day with the included mister. Added bonus: when they post a pic of their bounty on the Back to the Roots Facebook page, the company will donate a kit, along with a sustainability curriculum, to an elementary school classroom of the poster’s choice!

Price: $19.95

Available at: Whole Foods and some Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond and Safeway stores and www.backtotheroots.com
