New World's Little Garden is fun
The New World chain of New Zealand supermarkets is giving away these little pots and seeds. Usually they give away little toys resembling supermarket items, but this time it's the little pots and seeds.
I think it's a nifty idea. We've got a lot of stuff to grow but so far have planted cress, cherry tomatoes and mint.
Gardening is definitely not one of my passions but I am enjoying this. I think it's a great way to get the young ones interested in gardening.

Here's a picture of the cress. We planted the cherry tomatoes and mint this morning so it will be a few days before we see some activity in those pots.

Pots and seeds instead of toys....That's a good idea....that will help kids get involved too....It is a matter of great delight for them when they see their little plants grow.....
ReplyDeleteI'm having fun with my little garden and seeing my plants grow is a thrill for me too.
DeleteWe have started autumn and nothing is growing anymore !
ReplyDeleteIt's spring here so lots of growing happening :)
Deleteyaay that looks great. I am waiting for my tomatoes to grow ... planted few papaya seeds too this week. Let's see how they grow :D
ReplyDeleteTake some pics when they grow Rajlakshmi.
DeleteIt is a wonderful idea, indeed.
ReplyDeleteSome chain of supermarkets in The Netherlands do the same, a precious gift which gives lots of pleasure. Especially to the children who have not only lots of fun with it but also learn a lot of it.
Have a wonderful ABC-day / – week

It is a great idea Melody. I hope they will do this one again soon.
Deletefab idea :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks BeckyB
DeleteWhat a good promotion! One of our local supermarkets used to do a seed planting activity on Earth Day (a day in April that the environment is celebrated in the United States) but they didn't do it this year. I missed it! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Alana. I'm hoping they'll do it again. We celebrate Earth Day too but usually by switiching off all electric appliances, lights etc for an hour and just sitting in silence.
DeleteGardening is relaxing and rewarding. I'm sure you'll be a gardener yet
ReplyDeleteThanks Bellybytes. this might just be the tipping point :)
DeleteWhat a thoughtful idea! I'm contemplating on growing some herbs on my kitchen window sill. Hope it works out. I'm not good with gardening but want to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteGo for it Vinodini. It's been fun so far.
DeleteI'm pretty bad at gardening so I was pleasantly surprised when the mustard and fenugreek I planted recently sprouted so well! I think this is a great alternative gift idea for young kids, for sure. Help them understand things from that age.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea Shailaja and the little pots are so cute kids love them.
DeleteNice potted plant.
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Thanks Rog.
DeleteNot much of a 'green thumber' myself, but I must say it's a pretty interesting concept. And a great alternative gift too
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Suzy! Thanks for the comment. I didn't know that you lived in New Zealand. I enjoyed my stay there greatly. NZ is one of my two most favourite countries The other one is Norway, which we used to visit often with the family.
