This amazing store is located in the Westgate Shopping Center next to Central Market South. They specialize in carrying products that are easy on our earth, many of which are locally produced. I’m in awe of the broad spectrum of home improvement items they offer.
The first item to catch my eye was this super fun Woollypocket. . .you can grow anything your heart desires, indoors or out!
