{"product_id":"pop-up-microgreens-growing-kit-farm-or-billabong-urban-greens","title":"Pop-Up Microgreens Growing Kit - Farm or Billabong | Urban Greens","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven days is about the limit of a child's patience with a growing project. These are ready in seven days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's what makes this kit work where a packet of seeds doesn't. Set it up, water it, and within a week there's a thick green crop of microgreens filling the tray. Fast enough that a child stays interested the whole way through, and genuinely edible at the end, which is the bit that surprises them most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pop-up scene is the clever part. The box unfolds into a little world and the microgreens grow right in the middle of it, so it reads as a landscape rather than a seed tray on a windowsill. Choose the Farmyard with its tractor, cow, sheep and hens, or the Billabong with a kangaroo, echidna, wombat and platypus. Either way it earns its place on the kitchen bench rather than being tucked out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's mustard greens, which are easy to grow and have a proper peppery bite to them. Harvest with scissors and they'll go in a sandwich, on top of eggs or straight into a mouth, usually by the child who grew them. There's something about having grown it yourself that makes a kid eat a green thing without an argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo plastic, no batteries, nothing to charge, and Australian seed. The tray is moulded pulp and the whole thing is card, which is a rare combination in a kids' gift these days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureawaits.com.au\/collections\/urban-greens\"\u003eUrban Greens here...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Why You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrogreens ready to eat in about 7 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop-up scene with the garden growing in the middle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose Farmyard or Billabong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything included: seeds, tray and growing medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-grow mustard greens with a peppery kick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuinely edible, and kids actually eat them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo plastic and no batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustralian seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎁 Perfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKids who want to grow something now, not next season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKitchen benches and windowsills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthday presents and Christmas stockings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool holidays and rainy weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFussy eaters, who eat what they've grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassrooms and kinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrandparents after a gift that isn't more plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x pop-up scene in your chosen design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x sprouting box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x growing tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x growing medium disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x packet of mustard microgreens seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📋 Product Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urban Greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Garden Gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScenes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Farmyard (tractor, cow, sheep, hens) or Billabong (kangaroo, echidna, wombat, platypus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mustard greens, Australian seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around 7 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22cm x 18cm x 4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Card and moulded pulp tray, no plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Please note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select your scene from the drop down menu before adding to cart.

You'll see the first green shoots within two or three days, so there's something happening almost immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you actually eat them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, and that's the point. Mustard microgreens have a lovely peppery bite and go beautifully in a sandwich, on scrambled eggs or in a salad. Harvest with scissors just above the growing medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich scene should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFarmyard has a tractor, cow, sheep and hens. Billabong has a kangaroo, echidna, wombat and platypus. The kit and the growing are identical, so go with whichever your child is more into. Billabong is the one we'd pick for the Australian animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need anything else?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJust water and a bright spot. Seeds, tray and growing medium are all in the box, and a pair of scissors at harvest time is the only extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere should it go?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSomewhere bright but out of harsh direct sun, so a kitchen bench or a windowsill that isn't baking all afternoon. They need light but they'll dry out fast in full summer sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you grow a second batch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit comes with one packet of seeds, so it's one crop as supplied. The tray can be reused with any microgreen seed afterwards if your child catches the bug, which plenty do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it suitable for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt works well from about four with a hand, and independently from six or seven. The watering and watching is the part younger children love, and there's nothing complicated about the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for a classroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent for one. Fast enough to hold a whole class's attention, edible at the end, and it ties neatly into growing, food and life cycles without needing a garden bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌟 Adventure Awaits Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it where they'll see it every day, the kitchen bench rather than a bedroom windowsill.
