5.0 out of 5 stars Start Turning their Thumbs Green May 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
All in all, you get everything you need to start a humble pot garden. This set comes with the 3 pots, the pot holder, some soil and organic seeds, and a little trowel. The directions are easy to follow to get this started, and the seeds they provide are fast sprouters. We saw little plants (the basil) shoot up in just 2 or 3 days. My daughters were so excited to check their plants everyday and water them. We've been growing the plants for over a month now and the basil is doing great, the sunflowers are growing, and the zinnias are moving slow, but getting there. If I had one complaint, and this is as a gardener, I worry about how well the plants will continue to grow as the pots have no hole(s) at the bottom for water drainage. But so far, so good. The plants have had little care (water once a day and set in the sun) and are still thriving. This set makes my kids excited about growing plants and makes them more aware of their world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gardening With Little Ones March 13, 2010
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I stumbled across this last year and bought it for my son and I to do together. I wanted to introduce him to gardening in any small way I could and we also talked about recycling, what materials everything was made from. It was so fun going to look everyday to see if the seeds had sprouted and he was very excited when they did. When they were big enough, we transplanted them into the garden and watched them grow all season. He was so excited when the huge sunflowers opened and was proud that he had grown it himself! He will plant new seeds this year and I will buy another set for my younger son and let him grow his own too. I love the colors, the pots are very durable. The kids found them this winter and have been using them to play in the snow. They are very solid and take all their abuse. Love this product and how something so simple can teach so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Garden Set!! May 19, 2008
By Cat
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
We just loved this garden set. All the parts are really strong and high quality, it's amazing they are made from recycled milk containers. The seeds are all organic, and it comes with compacted soil that looks like a hockey puck but fluffs up into a full pot of soil. Very cool!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch 'em grow! May 28, 2008

My 3 year old daughter had a blast filling the pots with the dirt & seeds, and now everything is growing. She waters them all the time (watering can & a spray bottle) and notes if it's too windy or rainy and wants to check on her plants all the time. Lots of ongoing learning...we hope to cook & eat some of the herbs later this summer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Expired Seeds - Everything else was good. February 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
I started planting these with my daughter and I noticed that (after everything was open) that the seed packets said that the seeds were for April 2009. It is Feb. 2011. However, I am not sure if the seller would know that this is what the seed packets said since no where on the box did it say when it expired. Seeds that do not grow make it not as much fun.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOt great quality soil or plants. March 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
We followed the directions carefully and the soil got moldy and all the plants that came up (not many) died. The planters are a decent quality and can be used again, but the physical plants and soil were not good quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars We educated our world! November 11, 2009
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
WE GAVE THIS TO OUR DAUGHER FOR HER BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS THE BEST!

Not only was it a simple project that kept her busy for a long, long time but it was extremely educational.

We were able to talk about recycling (the product is made 100% of recycled milk jugs) and composting (the product can be 100% composted) but we were able to have these discussions over and over again because we watched our seeds grow and grow in our kitchen window.

Everyone who came over wanted to know what was going on.

We educated our world. It was a blast.

Even the packaging is compostable.

This is a fabulous project and gift for those little environmental scientists.

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
We received the Green Toys Indoor Gardening Kit as a gift a few years back because my son likes to help me in the garden. I had seen Green Toys in stores but never really checked them out. Reading the package for the gardening kit then going to their website, I learned that these toys are not only made from recycled milk jugs but also made in the USA - double bonus! It is so hard these days to find toys made in America and with the economy the way it has been, I'd much rather be supporting American companies and workers. Green Toys are BPA free and do not contain Phthalates or lead. Also, their packaging is also very earth-friendly (and people-friendly - no twist-ties or hard, impossible to open plastic). They use recycled corrigated cardboard to package their toys - that's it! So they are also totally recycleable!

This kit is very durable (still planting herbs in them over 2 years later!) and has withstood digging, banging, collecting things like stones (when the pots didn't have plants in them) and anything else a toddler/preschooler can do with toys. The kit came with a trowel, 3 pots and a base, seeds (basil, sunflowers and zinnias) and soil disks. It was very easy to start our own window garden (even at age 2!) - my son really loves to take care of the plants that he started from seeds too. This kit is very cute - the colors are bright and cheerful. You would expect recycled plastic toys to a little dull, but not these!
