Amy Price Designs Terrazzo Propagation Station
$44 from Amy Price Designs
Propagation systems are cool (and pretty much a necessity for all dedicated plant parents out there), but oftentimes they’re made of glass and wood. This is why we love these from designer Amy Price, who uses colorful Jesmonite, a non-toxic, VOC-free, water-based resin, for her propagation stations.
The Growing Candle
$32 and up from HyggelightShop Now
These 100% soy wax candles have a secret: After they’ve burned fully, they don’t need to be tossed. The label that surrounds the candle contains wildflower seeds, so the container the candle comes in can be reused to nurture another little green being into the world.
