This review is from: Harry potter hogwarts herb hydroponic mandrake root herb and plant science experiment kit (Office Product)
This kit was fun to use with my nephew. It's more for the botany fan than for the Harry Potter fan, though! It's only loosely related to Harry Potter in the labeling and instructions. It also requires extra materials that aren't included in the kit. They're not expensive, but if you want to open it and use it right away, you'll be delayed. Drawbacks aside, the seeds were fresh and sprouted with little work, which is pretty key for a "grow some plants" kit. It also opens up some other experiment options if you've got some imagination -- buy some seeds at the store and try out some more hydroponics, or buy some more nylons and herbs or different types of grass seed, and sprout some more mandrake heads! Value is not in the materials purchased, which are meager, but in the learning that stems from the experiments.
