How often do your kids dig in the dirt?🌻🏡👩‍🌾🌱🌻

There are SO many benefits to letting our kids get dirty, and here are just a few reasons why getting those little hands messy is a great idea:

Connection to Nature: Playing in the dirt helps kids connect with the earth and understand where their food and plants come from. It’s the first step to becoming eco-conscious little humans! 🌍🍎

Sensory Exploration: Mud, soil, plants (I know what you're thinking... not more WASHING!) Getting their hands dirty is a fantastic way for kids to engage their senses, stimulating their imagination and curiosity. It’s all about tactile learning! 🧠🔍

Fine Motor Skills: Digging, planting, and pulling weeds are incredible ways for kids to develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Plus, it’s an active and fun workout for their tiny muscles! 💪🌿

Boosts Immunity: Believe it or not, exposure to germs in the dirt can help build a healthier immune system. A little dirt never hurt anyone, right? 😉💚

Responsibility & Patience: In a world of instant gratification caring for plants and playing in the garden teaches kids about responsibility and the rewards of patience. Those seeds won’t grow overnight, but the wait is part of the magic! 🌻⏳

So let’s embrace the mess and encourage our kids to get their hands dirty! It’s a chance for them to learn, grow, and have a blast! This is exactly what our Kids Growing Kits are all about!

During September receive a FREE kids t-shirt with a Kids Growing Kit or two of our 10 seed packs.

Keen to plant a flower en masse the way we have? Have you thought about a different flower than sunflowers? What about onions? What about clover? What about cotton? Theres heaps of options!
We wrote an awesome ebook about how to do it. It's based on sunflowers but absolutely crosses over to any sort of planting. Because putting it in the ground is one thing... but how do you get the people through the gate?!
We've got you. Check out our ebook on our website

Something we often get asked is ‘But how much do I sell my cut flowers for?!’

Well, we came up with a special formula. Any flowers planned en masse look epic. But the secret ingredient is height. Not too low for feet photos and not too high in the sky you miss your face altogether. But back to the formula!

We used this formula for our roadside stall. We set a goal of how many stems we wanted to sell there.

What is the cost of building the stall?

The time it takes to pick every day?

Planting cost.

Fertiliser.

Cost of not having that land in food production.

Take all that and divide it by the stem goal, this will give you a great place to start for what to sell them for.

Are you still reading? Maybe not. But if you are, the answer for us is $20. We sell four stems for $20. Easy.

Find this and more gems in our ebook - available on our website now.
