The small vegetable garden is designed for inexperienced gardeners who
want to grow a wide range of vegetables. Vegetable plants included with
the
small
vegetable garden are simple to grow and
require no gardening experience.
You don't even need a garden, just a patio or a balcony with a few
pots, containers, and growbags.
Your vegetables will delivered as baby plants that can be planted
almost immediately. Because they're established and around
10cm
tall, it's easy to pick out any weeds that shoot up around your baby
plants. A
comprehensive
growing guide is
included to help you with any vegetables you're not sure
about. When your vegetables are ready for harvest, you'll be able to
conjure
fresh dishes in your kitchen with produce picked from your garden that
day.
The small vegetable garden includes the following organic baby
plants. These plants will cover around ten square metres of
vegetable patch.
- Rocket x 20
- Mixture of lettuces x 30
- Dwarf French Green Beans x 12
- Runner beans x 8

A Brilliant Gift
Garden vouchers are available for order all year round – so
you can
give the small vegetable garden as a gift at any time of
year.
The small vegetable garden makes a perfect birthday, Christmas, or
wedding gift for anyone who likes good food, gardening, or who cares
about the environment.
Eco-Friendly Food
All plants are seasonally and
organically
grown in Cornwall according to strict Soil Association
standards. No artificial heat, chemical pesticides,
fertilisers,
or sprays are used in growing.
No plastics or non-compostable packaging will be included with your
small vegetable garden. The vegetables you grow will of
course
have no packaging – a huge environmental benefit considering
that two
thirds of household waste in the UK is packaging.
Why is organic, home-grown food good for you?
Organic food grown in your own garden is the healthiest and most
environmentally-friendly food
you
can get. Home grown organic veg has zero food miles, and is
not
laced with chemical pesticides and fertiliser.
Vegetables picked and eaten when they're fully ripe contain the maximum
possible amount of nutrients and have a
superior taste.
Supermarket
suppliers harvest vegetables pre-ripe, and there can be days or weeks
between when the vegetables are harvested and when you eat
them.
Every day between harvesting and cooking, valuable nutrients and taste
are lost.
