Remember - l'ovdah u'lshomra - we are here to work and to protect this beautiful planet!

It compels us to think about how we can we improve in areas that pertain to taking care of Hashem's beautiful earth. One way to practice caring for the earth is to plant your own plot of land - anywhere - with a small tray of microgreens!

On Rosh Hashana, we think a lot about teshuva and preparing for a wonderful year. GrowTorah focuses on Tu B’Shevat as “Rosh Hashanah” for our relationship to the earth.

6. Gently pack the seeds down. 7. Carefully add water till the soil feels like a wet sponge. 8. Water daily. 9. After 1-2 weeks HARVEST! 10. Check for bugs. 11. Make a bracha and enjoy!

We partnered with

to plant microgreens for Tu B'Shevat. Here are the steps: 1. Grab an egg carton from your recycling bin. 2. Decorate it! 3. Fill with 1" of soil. 4. Lightly pack it down. 5. Sprinkle your seeds in a thick carpet to grow a mini forest of microgreens.
