#10 - Grow Your Own Garden

From the smallest herb garden in your home, to a full blown veggie patch in your backyard, growing your own is a great way to save money and go green. Look for organic seeds or swap with friends and neighbours to save even more. If you have no yard but would like to start your own garden look into local community gardens (rent a plot you plant and harvest). And, if you're an avid gardener growing more than you can eat look into the Plant a Row - Grow a Row program to share with your local food bank.

One lucky Mother of a Deal subscriber will WIN a Tupperware Fresh Herb Planter system so you can grow your own fresh, healthy herbs at home without worrying about daily care requirements. The system waters herbs accurately and automatically and you can enjoy fresh herbs as required! Thanks so much to Jennifer Parsons Tupperware Sales Consultant for donating this awesome prize! (P.S. Shipping is FREE on all online Tupperware orders over $99, April 18-29th)
