Released in 1982, the Chia Pet was introduced to households across the nation. It reached popularity through its easiness to grow and witty marketing. Since then, the company has extended its line to include Chia herb gardens, Chia Trees, and China Cat Grass Planter.Since then, many companies have followed this idea, bringing our local drug and grocery store shelves a wider variety of do-it-yourself planter kits. Recently, I recieved an indoor daffodil kit as a present, reaffirming the notion that indoor plant projects are popular gifts. As a derivation from traditional gardening, this is formulating to be a popular trend. Already, its novelty has caught the eye of young adult apparel and goods stores like Urban Outfitters.
