Perfect for home schoolers, telecommuters, and people wishing to explore the wonderful word of botany. If you know budding chefs or beginner gardeners, these sweet gift boxes supply everything they need to get going! We offer basil, tomatoes, kale, assorted other herbs, and also flowers. Order just one or one of each! Just add water and warmth and a bit of sunshine!

Yes! Create your own custom arrangement from among 6 seed types: Basil, dill, parsley, and lavender for herbs plus a flower seed mix and also kale for healthy eating. Kale is a perfect green to try first as a vegetable to grow because it sprouts so easily and can be planted even in cold weather. You can choose a single gift box or add multiples of any seed type. Or, choose a set of 4!

Each is packaged and ready for gift giving in a small kraft gift box with a natural raffia ribbon and tag that identifies the seed type. Leaf color may vary from what is shown.

Each planting kit comes with the following:
- 1 plantable paper seed leaf (your choice seed type)
- 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. Shown in pictures 4 + 5.

{ 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 leaves are made from recycled paper and embedded with the seeds to start the garden. Each leaf contains a specific seed type. To start the leaf growing, simply wet it and press it into damp soil.

Made with eco-friendly packaging that is either recycled or meant to be recycled. It is easily biodegradable and compostable.

{ PLANTING SEEDS }
All paper is made-to-order to promote freshness. You can select the seeds included in the paper: Basil, dill, parsley, lavender, kale, or a flower seed mix. The flowers are a mix of annuals, for first year color, and also beautiful perennials for blooms in the years to follow: Snapdragons, cosmos, daisies, zinnia, poppies, cornflowers, forget-me-nots, asters, columbine, black-eyed susans, calendula, marigold, lupine, Sweet William, dianthus, and other pretty garden flower seeds as available. Planting instructions are included. Our plantable paper really does grow - that's a sprout growing right out of the plantable paper in the photo at the right! Growing is simple but not foolproof. The seeds will need proper care, just like other seeds. Lavender is a perennial that needs at least two seasons for full growth. Kale is an edible leaf that grows best when the climate is cool/cold. You can grow and collect the seeds of annuals like kale, basil, dill, and parsley to plant again the next season.

Please note, these plantable leaves 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 leaf to leaf. Each is unique.
