This little garden will brighten any desktop, windowsill or sideboard. It is enjoyable for all ages all year round. Once opened and unfolded into its garden plot, simply sow the enclosed seeds and add water. In a few days your little garden will start to grow and will keep for 2 - 3 weeks.

How to grow your mini living garden

Instructions and seeds are included with every garden - all you need is water and light.

• Tuck the tabs into slots and glue (or tape) where instructed. If you don’t have glue or tape don’t worry! It is not essential but it well help strengthen the structure.
• Carefully sprinkle water into the base - A dripping tap is ideal for this.
• Scatter the cress seeds onto the damp paper.

• Keep the seeds moist by adding water as required. Place your Carden in a warm, bright spot. It will start to grow in two to three days and will last up to two weeks. All cress can be eaten (get in touch and share your recipes!)

• Bon appétit !
