Explore the Sow 'n Sow Gifts of Seeds Collection

The Sow 'n Sow collection makes it easy to match a little growing gift to the person or occasion. You might choose a favourite flower, an interesting mix to create an element of surprise, herbs for someone who loves cooking, or an illustrated design with a message suited to the day.

Beautiful Flower Seed Gifts

There are plenty of familiar favourites for someone who loves flowers, including Sunflower, Sweet Pea, Dahlia and Poppy Gifts of Seeds. Choosing a particular variety adds a personal touch when you know the recipient's favourite flower or the kind of garden they enjoy.

Mixed collections such as Wildflowers, Secret Garden, Enchanted Garden and Garden Wonderland offer more variety within one gift. They're a lovely choice when you don't know which individual flower to pick or the recipient enjoys seeing what appears as the seeds grow. Planting times, space and growing conditions differ between varieties, so the supplied sowing instructions are useful when it's time to begin.

Australian Native Flower Gifts

Billy Buttons, Kangaroo Paw and Native Daisies celebrate the distinctive colours and forms of Australian flowers. These seed gifts may particularly appeal to someone interested in native plants or Australian garden styles. Christmas Native Daisies adds a seasonal design to the same theme.

Native varieties have their own climate, soil, light and planting preferences, just like other flowers. The best match will depend on where the recipient plans to grow them and the conditions they can provide.

Herb Seeds for Kitchen Gardeners

Gift of Garden Herbs and Trio of Herbs are thoughtful choices for home cooks and people who enjoy growing useful plants. Trio of Herbs contains basil, parsley and coriander, providing three familiar herbs in one gift. They can be especially appealing to someone starting a kitchen garden or looking for something to grow in a suitable pot or garden bed.

Culinary Flowers offers another direction for keen gardeners and adventurous home cooks. Culinary use should be kept to the varieties specifically identified as edible and grown according to the instructions supplied with the gift; ornamental flower gifts aren't intended to be treated as edible.

Birthday and Thank-You Gifts

Birthday Wishes and Happy Birthday Picnic combine a birthday card design with seeds to plant afterwards. They offer something a bit different from an ordinary card while still leaving room for a personal message. Thanks a Bunch turns the same idea into a thoughtful thank-you for teachers, neighbours, friends or colleagues.

You can also choose a general flower design when you'd prefer the recipient's favourite bloom to take centre stage rather than the occasion itself.

Christmas Gifts That Grow

Christmas Blooms and Christmas Native Daisies bring botanical artwork to festive gifting. Their compact presentation works well as a stocking filler, a small present for a teacher or colleague, or an addition to a larger Christmas parcel. As planting seasons vary, the recipient can keep the packet cool and dry until the sowing time suits the seeds and local climate.

Sympathy and Remembrance Gifts

Gift of Seeds With Sympathy and Forget Me Not offer a gentle way to let someone know you're thinking of them. They can be considered as an alternative to a conventional sympathy card or cut flowers, particularly for a recipient who finds comfort or enjoyment in gardening. As with any personal gesture, consider the individual and what they may appreciate.

What Makes Sow 'n Sow Gifts Different?

A typical Sow 'n Sow Gift of Seeds brings together an illustrated greeting card-style packet, a separate seed sachet, sowing instructions, a plant label and a recycled envelope. The card presentation provides space for your own message, while the seeds are planted separately—the illustrated card itself isn't designed to be planted.

The botanical artwork gives each packet the polish of a greeting card, while the seeds add a small gardening experience. Sow 'n Sow Gifts of Seeds are printed and assembled in Australia using 100% recycled materials, and the manufacturer describes the seed sachets as plastic-free. Their compact format also makes them easy to add to a present or send through the post, subject to the requirements for the destination and postal service.

Which Sow 'n Sow Gift of Seeds Should You Choose?

Start with the recipient: would they rather grow a favourite flower, an Australian native or something useful in the kitchen? If the occasion matters more, birthday, thank-you, Christmas and sympathy designs pair the seeds with an appropriate illustrated message.

Gift Type	Some Lovely Choices	Who Might Love It
Flower Gifts	Sunflower, Sweet Pea, Dahlia, Poppy and Wildflowers	Flower lovers and gardeners who enjoy familiar favourites or colourful mixes
Australian Native Flowers	Billy Buttons, Kangaroo Paw and Native Daisies	People who enjoy native plants and Australian garden styles
Herb Gifts	Garden Herbs and Trio of Herbs	Home cooks and kitchen gardeners interested in growing useful herbs
Birthday Gifts	Birthday Wishes and Happy Birthday Picnic	Friends and family celebrating a birthday
Thank-You Gifts	Thanks a Bunch	Teachers, neighbours, colleagues and friends
Christmas Gifts	Christmas Blooms and Christmas Native Daisies	Christmas gifting, stocking fillers and additions to festive parcels
Sympathy Gifts	With Sympathy and Forget Me Not	A considerate gesture for someone who may appreciate seeds to grow

Should I choose one flower or a mixed collection?

An individual variety feels personal when you know the recipient loves sunflowers, sweet peas, poppies or another particular bloom. A mixed collection introduces more variety and works well when you'd prefer to leave some of the final display as a surprise.

What if the recipient doesn't have a garden?

A garden isn't always essential. Some herbs and flowers can grow in suitable pots or containers, provided their needs for space, light and growing conditions can be met. Think about the recipient's balcony, courtyard or windowsill, then choose a variety suited to the space available.

For occasion-led gifts, let the illustrated message guide you. For gardeners, home cooks and flower enthusiasts, choosing according to what they'll enjoy growing can make the gift feel especially well considered.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sow 'n Sow

What is a Sow 'n Sow Gift of Seeds?

It is a greeting card-style gift containing a separate sachet of seeds to plant. Each design features botanical artwork and space for a personal message, making it a lovely little gift for birthdays, thank-yous, Christmas or simply letting someone know you're thinking of them. The illustrated card isn't planted; the enclosed seeds are.

Are Sow 'n Sow seed gifts suitable for beginners?

Yes, they can suit beginners as well as experienced gardeners. Sowing instructions are included to help the recipient get started, along with a plant label. Some seed varieties are more particular about climate, planting season, sunlight or space than others, so a straightforward herb or familiar flower may appeal to someone planting seeds for the first time.

Can I grow Sow 'n Sow seeds in pots?

Many herbs and flowers can be grown in a suitable pot or container, although the space, depth, sunlight and growing conditions required will vary. This makes selected gifts worth considering for people with balconies or courtyards as well as gardens. Match the container to the mature plant and use the sowing guidance provided for the chosen seeds.

Can I send a Sow 'n Sow Gift of Seeds in the post?

Yes, their compact greeting card-style presentation makes them lovely gifts to send to friends, family or colleagues. Postal charges and requirements depend on the packed item, destination and service you use. Seed postage can also be subject to destination restrictions, particularly when sending to some Australian states, territories or overseas locations.

How long can I keep a Sow 'n Sow seed packet before planting?

The manufacturer recommends storing the seeds in a cool, dry place and suggests a two-year shelf life for good germination rates. Seeds are living material, so planting them while fresh and during the preferred sowing season gives them the most appropriate start. Germination can't be guaranteed, as storage and growing conditions also play a part.

Our Advice for Enjoying Sow 'n Sow Gifts of Seeds

A little preparation can make a seed gift more enjoyable to give and easier for the recipient to grow. These practical tips are worth keeping in mind before writing your message or opening the seed sachet.

Keep the Seed Sachet Sealed Until Planting

The seeds are supplied separately from the illustrated card. Leave the sachet closed until the recipient is ready to sow, as this keeps small seeds together and protects them during gifting or postage. Once opened, follow the supplied sowing guidance rather than scattering every variety in the same way.

Use the Plant Label from the Start

Place the included plant label in the pot or garden bed when the seeds are sown. This is particularly useful with mixed gardens, where young seedlings may look similar before their more recognisable leaves and flowers develop. Adding the sowing date can also make it easier to keep track of progress.

Let the Season Guide the Planting Date

A Christmas or birthday gift doesn't necessarily need to be planted immediately. Different flowers and herbs prefer different sowing periods, and Australia's climates vary considerably. The recipient can use the supplied instructions alongside local conditions to choose a suitable time, rather than treating the gifting date as the planting date.

Set Up Pots for the Mature Plant

When growing in a container, think beyond the size of the seeds. The pot needs to accommodate the plant as it develops and provide the drainage, sunlight and growing space required by that variety. Starting with a suitable container can avoid disturbing young plants unnecessarily later.

Store Unplanted Seeds Somewhere Cool and Dry

Heat and moisture can affect stored seeds, so keep the gift in a cool, dry place until planting time. Avoid leaving it for long periods in a hot car, damp shed or steamy kitchen area. The manufacturer suggests a two-year shelf life for good germination rates, but planting while the seeds are fresh is preferable.

Add Your Message Before Giving the Gift

The card-style packet is part of the present, not just packaging. Writing your message before handing it over means the recipient gets the full experience of opening a greeting and finding seeds to grow inside. A simple note about why you chose that flower, herb or design can make it feel particularly personal.
