This one off sample is made to the exact specification as our regular avocados, with the addition of the stalk & leaf. Wet & needle felted to create a firm foundation, each element has been tidied up using a felting needle. The stalk and leaf have been crafted around memory wire, for movement and can be adjusted to your preference. Robust enough to withstand daily wear and will survive going through a washing cycle (though we do not recommend this!) It's a fun, playful piece that can be styled on collars, hats, scarves, outwear etc. It will be presented in a cotton, drawstring bag, ready to be gifted and doubles up as the perfect storage solution when you aren't using it. Sizing is approximate due to the nature of the work: Height (base to tip of stalk)- 6 cm Depth (not including avocado stone)- 0.5 cm Width (widest part of avocado)- 3 cm Read more

This listing is for 1 Children's garden seed kit, with everything your kid needs to start his/her own garden. Kit includes: 6 coco fiber pots, 6 soil pellets, 6 wooden plant markers, 6 stickers, 6 seed tins filled with seeds planting instructions packaged in stamped cotton muslin bag, with hemp drawstring (approx. 7x9") Seed varieties include: Sunflowers, Nasturtium, Marigold, Beans, Pumpkin, Cucumber This kit is designed with kids in mind - all seeds are larger (easier to handle), and easy to grow - just add water to the soil pellet, wait until it expands, then add the seeds! Mark each pot with label provided, and you should have little seedlings in approximately 7 -20 days (depending on temp. and type of seed). This kit is designed for indoor use to get your seeds started. Once the seeds have sprouted and begin to grow, they will quickly outgrow their small fiber pots - at this time they will need to be transplanted outdoors either directly in the ground, or into a larger pot. These make great gifts, and are also great for your own kid! Check out my other listings for other seed kit options. www.etsy.com/shop/deckerrdseeds and my website www.deckerrdseeds.com for even more ideas. Thanks for looking!
Not all seeds should be started indoors. Many seeds should be direct-sown in the garden instead. These seeds should be planted directly in the ground.
