Lovin’ Life 26/9/2019: Our Woolworths Discovery Garden.


This week I’m loving being an accidental green thumb thanks to Woolworths’ Discovery Garden seedling kits.

What started off as Master SSG’s hobby has now become mine.

I’m fully invested.  I even bought two of the limited edition sunflower kits – proceeds from their sale goes to a drought relief fund Woolies has set up for Australian farmers.

Hacks for growing the seedlings include housing them in plastic berry cartons to simulate greenhouse conditions.

I’ve taken to regularly taking our seedlings out into the back garden to encourage growth and to reduce mould growing on the cardboard seedling pots.

I think both hacks are working!  I admit to being somewhat cynical about any of our seeds actually sprouting when I first began planting them but it’s been a wonderful surprise each morning to see the growth in each pot.

Are you on the Discovery Garden bandwagon?

Do you believe the theory that some seedlings are rarer than others?

Personally, I’m stoked to have coriander and basil among our collection so far.
