Increased environmental awareness is making the grass lawn obsolete, along with the chemicals and excess water required to maintain it. Instead, city dwellers are opting for vegetable beds and herb gardens, growing their own organic produce at a fraction of the cost. Locavores know that nothing is more local than your own back yard. Gardening also reduces stress, provides a gentle form of exercise, and can support native species and habitats, even in a space as small as a balcony. This holiday season, indulge the urban farmer in your life with some gifts sure to delight green thumbs.
