Perfect for budding chefs or beginner gardeners, these sweet gift boxes supply everything they need to get going! Each is an easy gift that keeps on giving. Start them growing right on your kitchen counter, window sill, or office desk. This earth-friendly gift includes 100% biodegradable materials - our unique recycled plantable paper that we make ourselves, plus our wonderful plant-based biodegradable pots.
You can choose a single gift box with tomatillo seeds in a pretty green pepper shape, or choose a set of 4! Each box arrives ready for gift giving tied with ribbon and hang tag to identify the seeds inside. Complete planting instructions are included.
Just add water, sunshine, and some warmth to kickstart them if it's cold.
Each planting kit comes with the following:
- 1 plantable seed paper piece
- 1 eco-friendly biodegradable pot, 2 inch
- expandable soil pellet for growing
- planting instructions
- kraft paper gift box, 2 inches
- natural raffia ribbon
- tag that identifies the seed type
OPTIONAL: Upgrade your set to include our unique plant-based desktop greenhouse biodomes. They help seeds stay damp to help them germinate. We use them to start all our seeds.
{ ABOUT OUR DESKTOP BIODOMES }
These clear cups are made entirely from plants: corn. Each one is 100% compostable and biodegradable. Growing with these cups helps seeds to sprout because they seal in moisture. The top features a vent hole with removable cover so you can let out excess moisture if it becomes too humid inside the biodome. The covers are labeled with the seed type. When you upgrade to the greenhouse biodome, you also receive a larger gift box, for a bigger, more impressive gift that is twice the size. After the seeds have sprouted, you can re-use the biodome for more seed sprouting with another pot and then compost it when done.
{ ABOUT OUR BIODEGRADABLE POTS and PAPER }
These fiber pots are a more environmentally sustainable choice than peat-based paper and plastic pots (peat takes thousands of years to form before it can even be harvested). These plant fiber pots also create a wonderful growing medium that can help seeds germinate and plants to grow. They are made from the fiber between the husk and outer shell of a coconut. Seedlings flourish in them and, because the pots can be planted right in the ground, root system and all, stress to delicate seedlings from being transplanted is reduced.
Growing with a biodegradable pot makes everything easy — just plant the entire pot right in the ground. No plastic waste left over.
The fiber inhibits mold growth and helps plants grow stronger root systems. The roots grow right through the sides of the pots instead of balling up inside a plastic pot. When using coir, plants require less fertilizer and are more resilient to disease. The fiber improves moisture flow and actually helps seeds sprout. All pots are made from 100% peat-free renewable fiber.
The seed paper pieces are made from recycled paper and embedded with the seeds to start the garden. Each one contains a specific seed type. To start the seed paper growing, simply wet it until it is completely damp and press it into damp soil.
Made with eco-friendly packaging that is either recycled or meant to be recycled. It is biodegradable and compostable.
{ PLANTING SEEDS }
All paper is made-to-order to promote freshness. Planting instructions are included. Our plantable paper really does grow - that's a sprout growing right out of the plantable paper in the photo! Growing is simple but not foolproof. The seeds will need proper care, just like other seeds.
Please note, these plantable pieces are handmade, not commercially produced, and so they have all of the subtle irregularities that make handmade items so lovely. Seed inclusions, exact color, and shape vary slightly from piece to piece. Each is unique.
