Happy Monday {{first name | my friend}},

It’s the last day of March already! Where did that month go?! Let’s start the week with some recipes, garden inspiration, and tips for mind, body, and spirit. I always welcome feedback of what you’d like to learn about more. Just hit reply. :)

🌍 BE THE CHANGE: Vertical farming is revolutionizing urban food systems by allowing crops to be grown in stacked layers, often in controlled indoor environments. This method reduces the need for large land areas, minimizes water usage, and can bring fresh produce directly to city centers. With less transportation required, vertical farming also lowers carbon emissions, making it a sustainable solution for feeding growing urban populations.

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Enjoy a colorful and nutrient-packed Vegan Mediterranean Buddha Bowl. This dish combines quinoa, chickpeas, fresh veggies, and a tangy tahini dressing for a flavorful, balanced meal. It’s rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it perfect for a wholesome lunch or dinner.

🌾 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Hemp seeds are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and healthy fats. They’re packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support heart health and reduce inflammation. Sprinkle them on salads, blend into smoothies, or add to baked goods for a nutritious boost. Learn more about hemp seeds, and its immense benefits.

📲 MIND: Practicing digital detox techniques can significantly improve mental clarity and reduce stress. Taking regular breaks from screens, setting boundaries for device usage, and engaging in offline activities help reset your mind and enhance focus. Even short digital detoxes can have lasting positive effects on your well-being.

🌿 BODY: Bodyweight exercises are a simple yet effective way to build strength without any equipment. Moves like push-ups, squats, and planks engage multiple muscle groups, improving overall fitness and flexibility. They’re versatile, can be done anywhere, and are suitable for all fitness levels. Beginners can try these friendly bodyweight exercises.

💖 SPIRIT: Harnessing affirmations for personal growth can transform your mindset and boost self-confidence. Repeating positive statements helps reinforce beliefs, reduce negative thinking, and align your thoughts with your goals. Incorporating affirmations into your daily routine can create a powerful shift in your outlook and personal development.

This is my 6th year owning a Garden Tower, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

After seeing tons of new growing gadgets… this is still my overall #1 pick for home gardens, small-scale growing, and is the easiest way to grow in soil…and also to compost.

No other system puts so much growing space in such a tiny footprint (50 plants in 2 square feet), while also being moveable (I’ve moved it between 3 homes), and having the easiest compost system built right in!

Get prepared for spring, and ready to thrive – the Garden Tower has impressed everyone who sees it in action.

It saves water, rotates for simplified maintenance, and grows 50 plants in a 2-foot wide space. It’s on my deck right now 🌱

I personally inspired multiple family and friends to get one and it became the centerpiece of their home garden too.

Right now, the Garden Tower is USD $120 off the usual price!

BUT EVEN BETTER – use this code ‘NTG601’ at the end of checkout and it pulls ANOTHER $60 off.

(To be clear, that’s $180 lower than normal, so now is the time to get it).
