"Foodies, young professionals and aspiring mixologists are just some groups who are drawn to the idea of growing their own vegetables and herbs," explained Matt Armstead, CEO of Sprout it. "Why make another trip to the grocery store when you can simply head outside? Whether you raid your garden for peppers and summer squash to add to grilled kebabs, top a game day pizza with basil and tomatoes, or serve rosemary-infused gin, Sprout it provides the resources and knowledge you need to impress friends and family."
