Rocket Gardens Children's Garden gift voucher
This garden is a brilliant way of encouraging children to grow their own vegetables at home.
Give Someone Special A Growing Organic Vegetable or Herb Garden
These beautiful vouchers make fantastic last minute presents.
Why not give your friends or family a living, growing vegetable or herb garden.
It couldn't be simpler. You choose the garden you would like to give and we send (either to you or the recipient) a lovely voucher all about the garden they are about to receive.
The lucky voucher recipient fills out a freepost postcard and returns it to Rocket Gardens. We then send them their Instant Kitchen Garden.
Its a brilliant way to give those hard to buy for people a unique, super eco-friendly, healthy, tasty and great fun present. In next to no time they will be eating fresh food from the garden for months to come!
We can send the gift voucher to you or direct to the intended recipient.
We've discovered that if children are given the chance to grow their own food they are far more likely to eat it.
The plants are all easy to grow in the garden, pots, containers or grow bags.
Just wait until you see their faces when they pick their first courgettes and dig up potatoes.
Rocket Gardens seedlings are grown under large traditional unheated glass greenhouses with plenty of ventilation and watering facilities in order to produce healthy and hardy growing plants. Once the plants are established they are taken outside to a hardening off area before being sent to their final destination. We grow totally without the use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical sprays and fertilisers.
Unlike some nurseries we do not believe in using artificial heat to raise our plants. This avoids the burning of fossil fuels and provides for a hardier growing seedling.
Organic from the outset:
All of our seeds are sourced from Soil Association approved organic seed suppliers.
The compost in which the vegetable seedlings are grown is approved for use in Organic systems by the Soil Association.
Our plants are grown naturally under a fully organic regime.
Even the water we use on the plants is taken from our river just 50 metres below the greenhouses.
In most instances each plant is grown in its own individual biodegradable pot; this system has been chosen for the following reasons:
For growth:
It provides a very dense and active root hair system
Growth is improved
Transplant shock is minimised
Establishment speeds are improved
No root deformation occurs
Continued plant development is excellent
Ecological advantages
100 % biodegradable organic product
After its useful life the pot can be put onto the compost heap and transformed into humus to be put back into the soil.
Compared with a plastic pot there is no accumulated waste for landfill sites or in the case of combustion no harmful emissions.
Furthermore all of our packaging systems have been chosen in order that they are as ecologically friendly as possible. Recycled cardboard is used wherever practicable and this in turn can be used again or put onto the compost heap to be broken down. Where non cardboard packaging is required if possible we try to source recycled products.
