TGF Rated Review: Seedboms

What is it? Seedboms are ‘friendly bombs ready to explode with flower power’, designed as a fun way to encourage children to grow flowers.  They are handmade in the UK from locally reclaimed and recycled materials such as post consumer paper and egg boxes. Inside each bomb there is a mixture of organic peat free compost, organic fertiliser and a selection of easy to grow flower seeds. Let your child throw their Seedbom into the garden and over time, it will break down and completely biodegrade, leaving the flowers free to grow.

Who is testing it? Me and my two daughters aged 3 and 5

In Use: The Seedbom is very easy to use so it’s ideal for children. First we soaked the Seedbom in some water so that it started to soften a bit. Then my daughters helped me look around the garden and find a space where they thought it would be nice to grow some wild flowers. They had fun throwing the Seedbom into place and both wanted several goes at throwing it before they were willing to leave it in place! They really enjoyed doing it with me and it’s nice to know that they will be able to keep enjoying it as the flowers grow.

Any negatives? None

Price and Availability: Seedboms are available from My Funny Bunny and cost £9.95 for a pack of 4. Each pack contains 4 different flower seed varieties – native wildflower mix, nasturtium peach melba, cornfield annual mix and sunflower incredible. The packs are easy to separate, so it’s easy to give individual Seedboms, for example at the end of the party instead of giving party bags.

Overall: A great, fun way of getting children into the garden and planting flowers. Also an exciting way of teaching children about how some materials biodegrade. My daughters were fascinated by the fact that the Seedbom would disappear eventually and kept wanting to go back and see what had happened to it!

Verdict: 4.5 / 5
