Nothing is more satisfying than growing plants from seed yourself—and it’s cheap! With The Seed Box, you can confidently collect the right seeds, watch them germinate, and see them grow to their full glory— whether you’re growing veggies, fruits, or flowers
Early spring can seem dark, cold and unpromising, but you can defy the gray by planting the seeds that will soon fill your summer with color and flavor.
A practical gift for gardeners of all levels, The Seed Box tells you everything you need to know to choose seeds, plant them wisely, and watch them germinate, grow, flower, and fruit. The cards introduce individual species, but the book gives more general advice. It will help the reader gather their own seeds, not just choose from the shop. Readers will learn how to store seeds so they retain their potency, and plant them so each seed’s chances are maximized. It also introduces the sociable contemporary trend of seed swapping. Whatever your skill level, equipment, or growing space, you’ll find it easy to make the most of soil and sun, and create a rich harvest from the tiniest starting point—the humble seed.
