Comments about Bumblebee Garden:

The bright colorful superbly crafted zinnia and bee atop the round gift box are extremely realistic. The seeds are very easy to plant and encased in biodegradable tissue paper. You can separate after sprouting or let grow as seeded for a full garden. The butterflies and bees love the mix.

Comments about Bumblebee Garden:

The idea is excellent. Attractive and useful as a gift for a gardener. The box was MUCH smaller than I expected, so the price was much too high. After purchasing this item, I will be scrutinizing the product description in the catalogue to assure I know exactly what I'm getting.

Comments about Bumblebee Garden:

The Bumble Bee Garden was a last-minute Christmas gift. It is suitable for older children as well as adults. The seed tape provides a good opportunity for children to easily grow a flower patch for bees to visit. I gave it to an adult novice gardener who doesn't like to spend a lot of time minding his plants. This turned out to be a great gift idea for him.

Comments about Bumblebee Garden:

I purchased this on-line and then also saw it for sale at your Outlet store. It is absolutely adorable. The presentation of the bow and little bumble bee make it seem much more expensive than the sale price. I gave it to my son's 1st grade teacher as a gift. She loved it. I can not say how well the seeds grew, so I was only able to rate it 4 stars.
