Do you love the idea of
cooking
with
home grown food, but have limited space available for
growing
vegetables? The window box garden is designed just for you. Vegetables
included in the window box garden have been specially
selected to be
happy
growing on a window sill. Suitable locations for the
garden include window
boxes, balconies, patios, and roof terraces. You'll be amazed at how
much food you harvest from such a
small
garden.
The window box garden includes the following organic baby plants:
- Dwarf French Green Beans x 3
- Mixed lettuces x 10
- Rocket x 10
- Mizuna x 10
- Spinach x 10
- Golden streak mustard x 10
- Spring onions x 10
- Beetroot x 10
- Basil x 1 pot
- Parsley x 1 pot
- Chives x 1 pot
Vegetable plants included with the window box garden are
simple to grow and
require no
gardening experience. If you're unsure about any aspect of vegetable
growing, free guidance is available online at the Rocket Gardens
website.
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.
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.
A Brilliant Gift
Garden vouchers are
available
for
order all year round – so you can give the
window box garden as
a gift at any time of year. The window box 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
window box 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.
Important Delivery and Order Information
Baby plants for the window box garden are grown without artificial heat
and within the seasons. When you order your window box garden, you will
receive a garden voucher. If you redeem your voucher between 1 April
and 1 August, your plants will be delivered for autumn harvest. For
vouchers redeemed after 1 August, plants will be delivered in the
following spring. Vouchers can be redeemed online, or via freepost.
Plants are dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis, so the
sooner you redeem your voucher, the sooner you will receive your plants
the following spring.
Next delivery: Up to August 1st, 2010 and then again from Spring 2011.
The courier delivering your garden does not require a signature, so you
will not have to wait at home for it to be delivered.
There are postal surcharges for garden deliveries to the Isle of Man,
the Isles of Scilly, Ireland, the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands,
and the Scottish Highlands and islands. Call us for a price to these
areas - anything is possible, it just may cost more.
