eco herbs

these cute, potato shaped pots are adorable! chose either tall & slim, or short & stout - each pot comes with seeds for one of three yummy herbs [oregano, basil, or mint]. when you're done, reuse your taterpot to grow more herbs or stick it in your kid's bedroom for a little bit of funky decor.
