Back to the Roots Sunflower Organic Windowsill Planter Kit - Grows Year Round, Includes Everything Needed for Planting

Never did I expect for them to take off like this. First off, the whole kit is really cool for many different reasons. Getting children involved in the process is important and I think every class, in every school, everywhere, should have a couple of these. Second, such an easy process that my two year old was able to take part in. The soil block is definitely enough. You just need to make sure you soak it long enough and in enough water. Comes with about 8 seeds in each pack. Out of the 8 green beans, 6 sprouted, and 4 of those have taken off (see pics). Watermelon took a bit longer. DON'T GET discouraged. They do sprout. Some take longer than others. I planted the ones in the middle first, waited to see what happened, and then planted the rest of the seeds after I transferred the original seedlings. I'm not sure I'm going to have much luck, due to my lack of gardening experience. But if I can do this, anyone can, especially if you know what you're doing. The value is great due to everything the kit contains. Targeting kids and including both interesting and educational aspects makes this product wonderful. I WILL be ordering more. 😊

This is a nice easy to grow starter kit. It's got everything that you need it is good for children and even comes with a learning kit. If they are brand new to gardening I would start with the snap beans just because those are pretty much impossible to ruin and beans just produce and produce and produce and produce and produce so it'll really boost your kid's confidence in their garden learning. They purposely picked things that were easier and faster to grow. I wish they had a few more choices this is definitely a good starter and worth the money. Plus not only is it a learning experience but it produces actual food you can eat as well. Overall I do absolutely recommend this.

I loved this kit! When I first bought it I only received the pepper kit. I contacted the company and they were extremely helpful and got me the watermelon kit within just a few days! My daughter loved watching as the seeds sprouted! It’s a great kit for the money paid. My daughter and I had lots of fun using it! And it was pretty easy to use! The boxes were fairly smaller than I expected but it’s a grow it not the plant so that’s my fault! It’s definitely a fun buy for the family!

I got these as a gift for my son and he loved them as a homeschool project. The inside of the boxes were super awesome and filled in fun facts and areas to track growth. They were super easy to use and get started, I'd give it 5 stars but we has some hickuos with the watermelon and they died off. Unfortunately our yard bunnies ate the green beans before they took off as well but they were definitely going strong! All and all will definitely buy it again, was very reasonable priced.

You get plenty of seeds to grow many beans & watermelon. We did 4 each in the original pots & got 3/4 sprout on both. The beans took off like crazy & the watermelon is a bit slower to grow. I will admit that we keep them within the plant light on our hydroponic garden & in a window where during the day it gets a lot of light. We plan to plant them both outdoors & keep some inside with plant lights to see what does better as we live in AZ, summers are a bit intense with heat. If I remember I'll update my post on how they turned out. My daughter loved this garden & all the cute information,facts & tracking on the inside of the box when you unfold it. Highly recommend for that little or big Gardner at heart.

I received this kit and immediately went to plant the sunflowers. However shortly after opening the jar, I noticed several mites crawling around in the soil. I planted my sunflowers elsewhere and threw out the infected soil in the jar. I will say that the sunflower seeds are sprouting, but it is a huge disappointment that the minute I opened the jar I see pests. I have several houseplants that this could have infected. This one thing could have caused me a huge nightmare amongst all of my plants, so I would not recommend it. You would be better off just buying the seeds and planting them in a pot.

Love these but one came in broken and was upset about it but wonderful activity to do with your children

Just a wonderful sunflower growing kit! It comes in a large mason jar filled with organic potting soil. The lid has two holes poked into it. The instructions were easy to follow. I have placed it under a grow light to start the germination process. Hoping to get a beautiful Sunflower in a few weeks. Good value for the money. And it’s guaranteed! So if for some reason it doesn’t grow, I just contact the company and they will replace it. It will certainly add a bright spot of yellow to my succulent garden. Very happy with this.
