You probably know that our tea boxes are made from 100% recycled materials, and that you can (and should!) recycle them again when the tea’s all gone. But did you know you can re-use our boxes, too? Just in time for planting season, here’s one of our favorite tea box tips – making seedling starters.

Once you’ve finished enjoying a box of your favorite Celestial Seasonings tea, tear off (and recycle) the top and the two inside flaps. Keep the white paper liner inside the box – it will keep your seedling starter from leaking.

Cover the bottom of the lined box with ½ inch of sand to ensure proper drainage, then fill the rest of the box with a seedling-specific planting mix.

That’s it – you’ve made a seedling starter! Select a favorite flower, herb or veggie and plant seeds in your starter according to the seed packet’s instructions.

Thanks for helping us reduce and re-use as well as recycle!

Interesting idea! I'm always looking for ways to reuse things.

i love how pretty their boxes are--little works of art on them
