Nothing beats that sheer freshness—a basil leaf that was literally on the plant five minutes ago. And watch your kids; suddenly, they know where food actually comes from, not just the supermarket shelf. Getting them involved, even just watering, is pure family bonding disguised as a chore.

It's the most rewarding kind of soft upgrade you can give your family."
