the urban experience (in a box)

Pick a kit and then take things further with more resources, how-to stories and .orgs to join (all right here!).
Now: For break-ups on a budget, items sold separately!

 

The Urban Gardener - Your fire-escape plants mysteriously die; your deli flowers have short shelf lives. It’s time to change all that.

The Lazy Birdwatcher - You spy a bird across the street. You note it’s a Dark-Eyed Junco. Importantly, you didn’t have to try too hard and it’s more than just a pigeon.

The Break-Up Kit - We’ll be your best friend. Your ex doesn’t know what he (or she) is missing. But you’ve moved on to bigger and better things.
