10 Easy Pieces: Container Garden Kits

July 17, 2017

A container garden kit is a party in a box. Plant the seeds indoors or out (no experience necessary), and then prepare to marvel at the first tiny, brave leaves that break through the surface of the soil. They’ll be your friends forever, or at least until you snip them for salad.

Here are 10 of our favorite container garden kits, to grow everything from edible chrysanthemum leaves to tiny bonsai trees:

Grow edible chrysanthemum greens with a Shungiku Growing Kit from Japan-based Cultivate & Eat. The kit includes a plastic-lined paper bag tied like a traditional rice bag, potting mix, and shinguku seeds. It is available as shown for €\10 from Merci; for US shoppers a Cultivate & Eat kit is \$9 from Rare Device.

From Greece, each carton of Rhoeco organic Herbal Tea Blend comes with a seed stick affixed to the lid. The sticks contain organic seed mixes of chamomile, mallow, sage, lemon balm, and hyssop affixed with a natural glue. Rhoeco’s planting and drying instructions include how to make a tisane and couldn’t be simpler. For more details see Object of Desire: Herbal Tea Planters from Greece.
