We just moved into a new office building in the suburbs and it’s a little impersonal, especially after the excitement of New York City. In an effort to help us personalize the space and add a little color, the HR Department gave us little pots of grass seed to grow. They’re actually kind of cute and would make a great party favor, since you could have the packaging personalized with a fun message or date.

It’s a fairly well known fact that indoor plants help improve the quality of the air in a home or office, so I’ve decided to try my hand at growing grass. Here’s what my project looks like on day 1.

According to the directions, my seeds should sprout in 7 to 10 days. I’ll let you know how it goes.
