4 Tips for Bringing Plant Life into the Kitchen

• By Geraldine Campbell

Our lives are lived in the kitchen, measured in cups of flour and sticks of butter and shared with friends, family, and furry creatures. But this week, we delved into a different kind of life in the kitchen — plant life. And we asked Abbye Churchill, herbalist and co-author o fA Wilder Life: A Season-by-Season Guide to Getting in Touch with Nature, to be our green guide.

She shared her picks for the hardiest herbs to grow indoors and the best air-purifying plants to keep you breathing easy. She also brought us back to our elementary school days with a post about growing plants from kitchen scraps, and ended the week with a groovy look at grow lights.
