Seed box - Goran the permaculturist
What if gardening became accessible to everyone? In partnership with @le.permacultueur, Kokopelli has designed this boxed set of organic seeds and accessories to get you started in your vegetable garden. On the crop cards accompanying the seeds selected by Goran, you'll find QR codes to flash that will send you to never-before-seen tutorial videos for successful sowing! This box contains :
- A selection of 10 organic, reproducible seed packets
- 24 wood-fiber cups
- 10 explanatory growing cards with tips from Goran
- 10 seed storage sachets
- 1 gardener's notebook
- 10 seedling picks
What does the "Permaculteur" seed box consist of?
The wood-fibre cups are biodegradable and can be planted directly in the ground once the seedlings are fully grown.
The seed sachets are ideal for storing harvested seeds after the season. Kept dry in a garage, they can be resown next year to attract even more biodiversity.
The gardener's notebook provides a guided record of a season in the vegetable garden. With a sowing calendar, a garden design plan and a month-by-month list of crops, creativity and free expression are welcome!
And finally, 10 crop sheets for each species, plus tips from the young permaculturist and links to fun videos for successful sowing.
