In case you were thinking of having a herb plant growing in a paper bag, the eco-conscious folk at Branch have arranged just that for you. A Herb in a Paper Bag.

No black plastic bag, no molded plastic holder. Just a paper bag with the dang plant growing right in it.

Plus you get to choose from Basil, Lavender, Parsley, Chives, Oregano and Feathery Dill.

These gorgeous little window-sill delights come from Potting Shed Creations, Troy, Idaho. Each bag comprises a plastic-lined Kraft-paper bag, soil, herb seeds, and each bag also includes a few styrofoam packing peanuts for drainage.

Now I do not want to be regarded as a naysayer or a wet blanket but what are plastic linings and styrofoam peanuts doing in an eco-friendly product?

I do not want to alienate or needlessly offend the good people of Troy, Idaho so I will refrain from harsh criticism at this point, but these good folks should pay attention to this matter when next there is a slow period in Troy, which I assume is most of the time.

Each Garden In A Bag is 6″ wide x 7″ tall x 3″ deep — fine for sill or desk.

Order from Branch for $9.00 each.
