Have you tried our unique Tarragon Cooking Oil, or our homemade Persimmon Jam? Have you been looking for a good place to pick up compost, composting tools, or seedlings for your garden? The NOLA Green Roots Specialty Store will open on January 3rd at our main office (3101 Tulane Ave). The store’s products will support the full sustainability cycle of locally grown food. For example, you can buy hibiscus seeds to plant, dried hibiscus leaves to use for tea, or delicious hibiscus juice bottled and chilled. Other products available will include rain barrels, NOLA Green Roots apparel, and our new locally grown mushrooms and at-home mushroom kits for growing your own mushrooms!
You can also buy tools for maintaining your own composting, or buy an 18 pound box of NOLA Green Roots compost. Composting keeps waste out of landfills, and encourages the production of beneficial micro-organisms in soil. These micro-organisms increase the soil’s nutrient content and its ability to retain moisture. Composting can suppress plant diseases and pests, reduce or eliminate the need for fertilizer, and increase the production of your garden.
NOLA Green Roots members will periodically receive coupons in their baskets offering discounts on store products. There will also be a soft opening for our members and long time supporters on December 30th. This will be a casual party with free wine, drinks, other refreshments and music to kick off the store. If you would like to receive an invitation to this opening, please send an e-mail to info@nolagreenroots.com. Space is limited and invitations will be extended on a first-come, first-serve basis, so let us know quickly if you are interested.
