“We’ve been checking back for the past few Saturdays and the kids are over the moon, watering and talking to the fruits of their labour. I’m sure there’s a big lesson to teach them that I’m missing, but for right now, seeds+soil+sun+water=plant seems to be all they need.”

“To deliver The Budding Gardener kits, Floral Marketing Solutions is teaming up with a number of schools across the country. While learning about organic gardening, conservation, and the environment, these students will also be growing the perfect gifts for Mother’s Day.”

“These cute gardening kits are, in a word or two - simple and fun. I appreciate having all of the parts in one place, getting some rather specific how-to directions and feeling that I can nod my head with fairly decent confidence when the kiddo says, ‘Mommy, do you think this one will actually grow into a plant?’”
