Friend of Unconsumption Rubi McGrory, featured here in posts about her contribution to our Uncollection, thought of us when she spotted this repurposed container herb garden. The garden’s located on the grounds of Forty 1 North, a waterfront boutique hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. Rubi was pleasantly surprised to see the upscale property reusing kitchen waste. Well done!
[Thanks, Rubi!]
Speaking of The Uncollection: Stay tuned for another addition to it, which we’ll share here with you in the next week or so.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrnmxv6ClI1qzv12bo1_1280.jpg)
