First the seeds
You would like to taste vegetables that you have planted yourself. The only thing is: you live in the city and your gardening knowledge is rather rudimentary.
But don’t give up on your project. It can take shape thanks to the gardening box that offers you My Little Green Corner. Thanks to her, gardening will soon have no secrets for you.
To receive your box, simply go to the site concerned and subscribe. For a very low price, we deliver to you, each month, the parcel that will make you an informed gardener.
As such, you first need to plant the vegetables that you will make your daily treat. For this purpose, you will find, in each of the boxes, two sachets of seeds.
These are organic and reproducible seeds, coming from a plant that has been cultivated itself in accordance with the principles of organic farming. By sowing such seeds, you are therefore contributing to the preservation of nature. These seeds have also received a specific label, issued by an approved certification body.
The seeds we send you are chosen with particular care. They are selected according to your preferences but also to the region in which you live. And you are spoiled for choice, because the range of seeds offered is very wide.
Whether you want to plant thyme, watercress or beef heart tomatoes, you will find the seeds on the site’s catalog. The list is updated regularly, highlighting seasonal products, but also original vegetables and sometimes a little forgotten, such as rutabagas, parsnips or even arroches.
These seeds can also be found in gardening boxes. Some contain, for example, seeds of aromatic plants, others those of chewable vegetables as an aperitif. Enough to vary your seedlings.
In the box, you will also find small biodegradable pellets, in which you will place the seeds. It only remains to put the pellets in the earth.
Then the advice
But your gardening box does not contain only seeds. You will also find invaluable advice there to help you garden in the rules of the art.
By opening the box, you discover a guide to gardening. This small, comprehensive brochure teaches you what you need to know about plants. On each of them, you will find information on its history and its area of cultivation.
The guide also tells you the best time to sow it and the soils where it pleases. You will still know if this plant tolerates the sun or prefers the shade and how often to water it. The text is embellished with numerous illustrations, which make the reading more pleasant and the explanations easier to understand.
In fact, this guide is full of tips to help you get the most out of your plantations. And they will be all the more useful to you when they are provided by a specialist. As he teaches horticulture, he knows all the secrets of plants and these little tips that are part of the gardener’s art.
You can also find him on the site’s Facebook page, where he will not fail to answer all the questions you ask yourself. It is also an opportunity to exchange views with the other participants and to share your knowledge and your practices with them.
But that’s not all yet. Thanks to the gardening guide, you will know how to accommodate the vegetables you have planted. Indeed, the goal is to give you control of your crop from start to finish, from the seeds to the plate.
That’s why tasty recipes accompany this guide. Thus, you will have all the more pleasure to cook these vegetables as they are, in a way, your work.
Finally the surprise
You are not yet at the end of your surprises. Indeed, the gardening box has not revealed all of its contents. Each contains an object, related to gardening or at least the garden.
It can be a gardening tool. It’s true, you had the idea of cultivating organic vegetables on your terrace. But, as a city dweller, you do not necessarily have the necessary equipment.
But we’ve got you covered. By opening the package, you discover a small shovel, a mini gardening claw and many other tools. In short, everything you need to take care of your plants.
But other surprises still await you. Some months, it is not agricultural implements that you take out of the box, but pots to accommodate your vegetables. And, to make them grow better, we have also provided a little fertilizer. Like the seeds, it too is completely natural.
The objects found at the bottom of the box are not only useful. You can use it to decorate your garden, and even your interior.
