Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

MintBox distributes three described formats: a one-pot mint garden, a waist-height planter with a two-month water supply, and an EDU kit paired with plant science and nutrition lessons. Its partner model includes both drop-offs and hands-on sessions, including a workshop at St. Clement’s Food Kitchen and shelter distribution through Covenant House. The public calculator models household savings from reduced supermarket herb purchases, using editable assumptions rather than presenting a fixed estimate.
