Seed Information:

Calendula

commonly known as pot marigolds and are loved by bees. Sow indoors February-April. Sow outdoors March to June or August to October (later sowings mean the flowers will bloom the following year). They grow to around 60cm tall and will flower from May to October if you dead-head them regularly.

Lavender

Hidcote variety and are loved by bees, butterflies and birds. They grow to around 60cm tall and can make a stunning edge to a path. Sow indoors February-June. Flowers from July to September the following year.

Mint

The smell of fresh mint is very uplifting. This variety can grow quite large, so it’s best to grow it in a pot on your patio. It will die down over winter and emerge again in the spring. Keep watered and dead headed for longer harvesting period.  Sow indoors March-June.  Seedlings usually appear 14-28 days after sowing. They prefer a sheltered sunny spot.

All seeds are supplied by Mr Fothergills in foil sachets to ensure freshness, however we recommend all seeds are sown within the first year of purchase.

The gift box is C5 size and the recipe card is A6 size. All printed on recycled FSC paper/card

Why choose us?

We are a small UK business based in Pershore, Worcestershire that specialises in gardening gifts and stationery.

We started Border in a Box in 2017 after moving into a new build property and had no clue what to do with the garden. This led onto retraining as a garden designer, then creating show gardens, meeting the fabulous Alan Titchmarsh and showing him the prototype of the garden design kits (which he loved!) and it all grew from there.

Our designs are unique to us, so you can ensure any gift purchased and sent to your loved ones are special and well thought out.

When creating our gift range, the same illustrations and colours are used throughout which means you can buy several items and they will all coordinate beautifully.

If you would like to know more, please drop us a message using the contact form or email hello@borderinabox.com
