Seed Box


We needed something a little bit creative and prettier to store our growing collection of seeds in. So we rustled this up, collage style with lots of  modge podge glue smeared over the top. We file the seeds in their packets (if they are bought) or old envelopes if they are gathered by hand.
The cut outs are mostly from old gardening mags we had kept for just this kind of thing. 

We've also been busy getting our seedings started off inside all manner of recyclables. specifically toilet rolls, milk cartons and takeaway coffee cups, not to mention ice block sticks used for identification. The coffee cups look really smart en masse. The repetition  brings me joy. The upside of cafes that wont pour into reusable takeaway cups. 

Speaking of which Starbucks (i know) have really cool ones that you can insert your own template into. I used a sweet picture that Noah drew for mine.
