When Kermit the Frog expressed the difficulty of the viridian lifestyle, he obviously wasn't familiar with today's Groupon. For $25, you'll get $50 worth of handmade and eco-friendly wares at Nest. The earth-loving boutique is open daily and located in the Clarksville Square Shopping Center in Clarksville.

From green gifts to handcrafted treasures, Nest houses original and environmentally friendly wares. Selected inventory includes sustainably sourced fabrics by Earth Creations, recycled glassware by Fire and Light, and charming pottery from Mudworks. Read the gripping origin stories of some of Nest's vendors here. With this Groupon, naturally scent the home with a large soywax candle ($20), pull on an organic cotton T-shirt ($26–$30), or sip from a tumbler crafted from recycled wine bottles ($10.99). Nest supports fair-trade, organic cotton, recycled, handmade, and environmentally friendly goods.

Artfully arranged and easy to navigate, the charming Clarksville boutique offers an array of thoughtful gifts, goods, and garb for eco-enthusiasts and aspiring green thumbs alike. Consciously outfitting your wardrobe in earth-bettering goods helps to justify impulse buys, impress the opposite sex, and score a karmic high five.

Reviews

Nest won a Best of Baltimore award in 2008 and 2009 from Baltimore Magazine:

• …virtually every product is organic, handmade, or fair-trade, but the store also spreads its eco-love to the community by sponsoring monthly environmental events and belonging to "Conscious Corner," a group of green stores in the area. Clothes at Nest are made of organic cotton, hemp, soy, bamboo, and even recycled soda bottles.
