Here’s another way to be creative with plants

Eat Your Vegetable (and plant them too) , you can also have houseplant fun with fruits, nuts, herbs and spices.

Kitchen experiments in the wonders of Botany.

From the common carrot to the exotic cherimoya, dozens of foods have pits, seeds, and roots waiting to be rescued from the compost bin and brought back to life on your windowsill. Planted and nurtured, the shiny pomegranate seeds left over from breakfast and the piece of neglected ginger root in your refrigerator will grow into healthy, vigorous houseplants.

I would recommend it for kids to teach them about nature and where food comes from..

Inspired from the Book:

"Don't Throw It, Grow It!: 68 windowsill plants from kitchen scraps Paperback"
