Earth Day 2021 is upon us and there are plenty of ways we can help to save the environment.
One of the things we can do is switch to eco-friendly shopping practices and buy from sustainable businesses.

They are encouraging people to reuse their at HOME style glass candle jars when they are finished burning their candles, to plant their seeded paper cards, and watch lavender grow from them.
These jars can then be placed, on window sills, in gardens, and on balconies, for bees to enjoy as well.
