Garden Bon Bons

Not the bon bons you’re thinking of, these garden bon bons are actually good for you. Well, they are if you like gardening. I’m no gardener but these make me wish I was.

You don’t actually eat these garden bon bons -you just stick them in the ground and water. The pod (or truffle or bon bon) is made of clay, seeds and compost so it’s basically ready to be put in the ground. I love this idea for a birthday day if you’ve got an avid gardener who you think would enjoy them. You can read more about these nifty little things in the San Francisco Chronicle.
