Organic Seed Advent Calendar – Grow-Your-Own Garden Feast
24 days of festive countdown – and a whole year of happy harvesting
Advent calendars don’t have to have chocolates inside – instead, how about a calendar with 24 packets of seeds to transform your vegetable patch, raised bed or allotment into a colourful and edible oasis?
The Grow-Your-Own Garden Feast organic seed advent calendar gives you a new open-pollinated organic variety day by day in December – bringing joy not just in Advent but through a whole year full of growing, harvesting and seasonal variety.
What is a seed advent calendar?
A seed advent calendar is a sustainable alternative to traditional advent calendars.
For each day in Advent there’s a new seed packet with a carefully selected variety – in this case high-yielding vegetable varieties, aromatic kitchen herbs, and even a few selected fruit varieties.
It’s designed for anyone wanting to move towards greater self-sufficiency, producing their own fresh ingredients for delicious home-grown feasts – and seeing gardening as part of a sustainable lifestyle.

Giving sustainably
The calendar is locally produced in the Regensburg region of Bavaria, with packaging that’s almost plastic-free, and using only recyclable materials.
Special feature: the string included for hanging up your calendar is beeswax-coated – which means that it can be re-used after Advent as a wick for candle-making. Apart from this string the calendar is entirely vegan.
A Grow-Your-Own new year starts here!
From February you’ll be seeing the first green shoots appear – and then your productive garden will keep growing month by month as you sow seeds, plant out seedlings, tend them, harvest and preserve your crops. The calendar will be your secret garden companion for the whole gardening year – a year full of flavour, variety and fulfilment.
To sum up: Grow your own magic – for a rich home-grown harvest
As a gift for keen gardeners or a launchpad for your own gardening new year – this calendar will inspire you with the joy of gardening, home produce and home cooking, and the satisfaction that comes from growing your own food.
