Receive 10-12 heirloom seed varieties per year, designed for a 4′ x 4′ garden layout (not included). Because you’re gardening outside, you can try a wide variety of heirloom plants. If you’re just getting started with gardening, this smaller plan takes up less yard space than our enthusiast option, while still optimizing productivity and demonstrating good garden habits like companion planting and organic methods – perfect for anyone getting started or who wants to improve gardening skills. All of these skills and techniques scale to larger plots, so there’s room for The Plant Dad even if you already have a huge garden (or just have dreams for one). We’ll also send timely reminder emails and instructions, which help you stay on top of garden tasks and saves you time in the long run.
What’s Inside?
While choosing the best yearly seeds is always our job, here’s just an example of what might come with this plan. Don’t forget that each packet links to its own interesting and educational backstory, like this one, and of course includes foolproof instructions!
