17 New Foodie Finds to Make Your September the Tastiest Yet

"Whether the direct sunlight to my porch or my own incompetence is to blame, the fact is that I have a bad habit of killing plants. But Back to the Roots has solved all of my urban gardening woes with its easy-to-use gardening starters — between my basil and cilantro Garden-in-a-Jar kits, my thriving Mushroom Farm ($20), and a cherry tomato Self-Watering Planter, my kitchen has become its very own farm. That's not even the best part, though . . . for every social media photo you post of a Back to the Roots product, the company donates a ready-to-grow kit to an elementary school classroom. Facilitating learning and harvesting fresh produce? I'm hooked!" — Brinton Parker, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
