Garden Therapy: Stack and Grow Planter

Since many of you have mentioned that you'd love to garden, but you're dealing with very little room for growing plants, I figured that the Stack and Grow Planter ($39) might be perfect for you small-space gardeners. This planter fits a lot of green into a tiny amount of floor space, with four levels that can hold up to 20 plants. This planter is made of UV-protected plastic, and is supposedly pretty durable while also fairly light (though once you fill it with soil and plants it'll definitely get heavier). Would you use it on your patio or fire escape?

Garden Therapy: Egglings

Too darn cute. Egglings ($9.50) are handmade ceramic pieces that look like large eggs. Use a spoon to crack it, and instead of finding a hardboiled egg, you'll be presented with a garden just waiting to grow. It couldn't be easier: just water the soil, put it in a sunny spot (such as a kitchen window), and wait for it to grow. You can transplant the plants to the garden once they get bigger. You can choose from a set of herbals, which includes basil, mint, and thyme, or edibles, which includes lavender, spicy pepper, and wild strawberry. Each set of three comes in a handmade gift box with an extra seed pack and terra cotta tray. This would be a great gift for a small space or aspiring gardener.
