Writing down daily what you’re grateful for can help you feel more positive by focusing on the present moment and acknowledging what’s going well and what you are enjoying.
It has 36 pages, one page per day, containing space for noting that days goals, three things you’re grateful for, water consumed and movement. Printed on FSC paper, A5 size.
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
