Yay for saving the bees and growing some lovely plants that both you and the bees can benefit from. Nay for the very little amount of seeds stuck in between the paper. This was my first paper tape seeds that I have purchased. Honestly, I'd stick to seeds in packets, as they contain way more seeds and way less packaging.
Still waiting for my sprouts but I love how easy it is to plant this and the easy to follow instructions on the box and paper and the biodegradable paper is on point
There are less seeds than I expected, but all in all I think its very cute and clever, nice for a small present. Im not a great gardener but proud to say my babies are growing up so fast!
Bought a few different varieties of these as a birthday gift for a little eco-warrior and he LOVED THEM! Cute packaging, fun activity and a sweet way of learning how to grow your own food.
Such a fantastic concept and product! Very easy to plant and grow, even for a complete beginner gardener. Always good to do our part for the bees!
