During my crit I was told about seeds which can be bought online and have words on them. I thought this would work really well if I was to include seeds at the back of my information pack and decided to go on not on the high street to see what other products they have to give me some more inspiration. I have posted the description for each so they are all very self explanatory.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Five magical beans with messages and pictures laser etched into them on both sides which will continue to enlarge as the beans grow.
Just plant the seed into water beads or soil, and less than two weeks later, everyone will be astonished by the special messages that grow with the plant!
There are a number of packs available making the beanstalk an ideal gift for all occasions. Please note, the words in brackets are on the reverse of the bean.
Add soil pellets and you can grow the beans in the bag itself by just adding water!
Note: These need to be planted like normal bean seeds. As with any natural seed, they will need stable warmth, light and watering for germination.
