The Children's Vegetable Garden features 92 fruit and vegetable plug plants to introduce budding gardeners to the joys of growing - and eating - their own home grown fruit and vegetables.
Covering 8m², the range of fruit and veg plants - featuring favourites such as strawberries, tomatoes, peas, carrots and potatoes - eliminates the need for costly propagation and as the gardeners of tomorrow aren't - how can we put this? - blessed with patience, having 92 plug plants arriving at your door will certainly retain interest!
Pots, containers, open soil or raised beds are all suitable homes for the Children's Vegetable Garden and with all the plants having been raised organically by growers with over 70 years experience, and the seed and compost used having Soil Association approval, this plug plant collection is a great way to begin educating the kids or grandchildren in environmental matters.
Don't worry if the junior gardener comes up with lots of growing questions; full instructions are provided to guide you through the growing year and all the plug plants are supplied ready for planting - and as the Children's Vegetable Garden is ordered by voucher, it makes a great gift idea.
To receive your plants, simply redeem the Children's Vegetable Garden Voucher by filling out the enclosed freepost postcard or visiting Rocket Gardens. Your plants will then be despatched and you’ll have an instant garden to tend!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your plants will all be delivered at the same time, so please ensure you have your beds ready and waiting for their arrival. Although your plants have been fully hardened off, you may need to offer some initial protection from weather conditions until the plants become acclimatised to your garden - we recommend insulating fleece. The contents of this garden may also vary slightly depending upon the season.
Product Reviews
I was very impressed by the amount of plants that can fit in one box, they were packed carefully with straw and looked very healthy, make sure you have your ground prepared ready for planting! If you are getting this for yourself I would recommend going on the rocket gardens website and order directly from them , otherwise it will take about a month for the actual plants to arrive.... because you have to fill out the form and then that gets sent and then they have to be dispatched etc. But overall I was very happy with this product, good value for money!
