GroBox Gardening

GroBox Gardens

I’ve never been too hot at gardening. Plants seem to wilt the minute they enter the house and I then manage to over or under water them. And there’s the maintenance too. All that planting the right bulbs together, getting the soil just right and making sure they’re not too much in the shade or too much in the sunlight.

GroBox Gardens

That’s what appeals to me about GroBox Gardens. You simply plant the box. Really, it’s that simple. Just open it up and plant it in the garden, container or window box and year after year the flowers will come up and in bigger clumps each time.

GroBox Gardens

Each GroBox Garden is designed by horticulturist Jayne Lawton who has trained with the Royal Horticultural Society. The boxes are biodegradable and will rot down naturally in the soil. In fact they’re made from organic sustainable, recycled and biodegradable material that benefits the garden ecosystem.

As well as flowering plants you can select herbs and vegetables too. Jayne has handpicked each little garden to offer maximum colour, scent or delicious veggies or herbs. And they’re a bargain at around £6.25 each.

Valentine’s Day

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Valentine's Day Picks

I don’t like Valentine’s Day. There, I’ve said it. It’s not the romance that I have a problem with. It’s the whole contrived nature of the day. I don’t like to be told that I have to be romantic on this day or that day. For me love and romance should be much more spontaneous.

But anyway, no doubt when the day comes I’ll get on board. And gifts are always good. Here are a few romantic presents that caught my eye.

All You Need is Love Hand Printed Card - £2.99 from Bonbi Forest

Antique Patterned Cold Enamel Bangle - $59 (approx £37) from Style River

Forget Me Not Dish - $17 (approx £11) from Prince Design UK

Set of Three Song Bird Ornaments - $20 (approx £13) from Anna Joyce Design

Love Little Wrapping Paper

And you can wrap them all up in Love Little’s gorgeous screen printed button print wrap. It’s just £2.50 per sheet and comes complete with a matching tag.
