Sowing & Growing

• Packet directions: Follow each component packet when species or varieties have different sowing requirements
• Garden layout: Label and place components separately when their light, spacing, or moisture needs differ
• Timing: Expect germination, maturity, harvest, or bloom timing to vary among components

Prepare a weed-reduced seedbed for Kid's Garden Seed Collection (Organic) and use the recorded planting season, depth, and light requirements. Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.

As the garden grows, children learn by doing: how to tuck seeds into soil, how to notice changes day by day, and how to harvest gently so plants can keep producing.

A small daily “garden check” can also build observation skills, turning tiny changes (like a new leaf or first bud) into exciting milestones.

Ready to grow a garden that’s as fun as it is delicious?

This collection makes it easy to start strong, learn together, and celebrate every harvest—big or small.

Because this packet contains a mix, component proportions and the number of varieties visible in a small planting will vary. Emergence, growth rate, mature size, color, and harvest or bloom timing can also differ among components and with site conditions. Evaluate the planting across the full season rather than assuming the first seedlings, flowers, or harvest represent the entire mix.

Place Kid's Garden Seed Collection (Organic) where its recorded height and growth habit fit the surrounding planting. Shorter companions can be positioned toward bed edges, while taller stems need room where they will not shade small seedlings too early. If cutting flowers, harvest with clean tools at the stage appropriate to the bloom form. If leaving flowers in place, observe how bloom sequence changes through the season and record which sowing date performed best at the site.
