We ship out all envelopes on the 28th of every month. We aim to get your subscription to arrive at the beginning of the new month. Our goal is for our envelope to arrive at the same time as those pesky bills so it's like a Little Gem when you see it! Please note if you place an order between the 29th-31st of the month they will not get sent until the following month.
We aim to provide enough seeds for you to plant successionally and also share with your friends, family, and neighbors to grow. The number of seeds varies depending on the vegetable type. For small, fast-growing veg such as lettuce and herbs a pack typically includes around 200 seeds, while for radishes, brassicas, and root veg that are usually grown in smaller quantities and take longer to grow, a pack contains 30-60 seeds. With tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, etc. which yield multiple fruits over an extended period we pack about 20-40 seeds.
We get our seeds from an array of seed suppliers across New Zealand. Some of the seeds are organic and heritage but not all, it varies from month to month and we always notate on the seed information cards if that is the case.
We like to sprinkle in some flower seeds occassionally as they help our bee friends and they help us by pollinating our veg! Some flowers we have sent in the past include Sunflowers, Borage, Poppies... and several more!
To determine if a seed is GMO Free you must test it intern destroying that same seed. Therefore we would be unable to test each seed.
We can however state we source from New Zealand's most trusted wholesale seed distributors that meet strict importing and distribution guideline.
The subscription automatically renews every month unless you purchase a gift. You can cancel or pause your subscription at any time in your member page. Access via the top right of your screen.
We want everyone to grow from large acre sections to small balconies. We choose an array of veg, herb, and flowers each month that are suitable for all garden sizes! BioGrow.co.nz has great grow bags for renters that want to grow while staying flexible.
Gardening is a great hobby! Its proven to help reduce stress, allows you to eat healthier and gets you outside in the fresh air. We believe that growing from seed allows you venture out and try food from around the world that you can't typically buy at the supermarket. Supermarket's produce are often grown for high yield and picked early before peak tastiness to extend shelf life. New Zealand has a great climate for all types of veg and it's about time we start putting it on our plates.
