FAQs
Does this kit include soil?

The kit provides high-quality seeds for pollinator-friendly plants; please check the specific packet labels for details regarding origin and treatment.
When is the best time to plant these seeds?
Generally, these should be planted in the spring once the risk of frost has passed to ensure the best germination rates.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes, it is a great educational tool for children to learn about gardening, though adult supervision is recommended for handling seeds and soil.
Troubleshooting
Seeds failing to germinate
Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist and that the seeds are planted at the recommended depth; check that temperatures are within the required range for germination.

This often occurs due to lack of light; move the containers to a brighter location to encourage sturdy, compact growth.
