Every Advent Calendar comes in a beautiful gift box and contains 24 printed and numbered paper packets, each containing a sachet of seeds for a specially selected plant variety. The calendar kit also includes 24 mini wooden pegs, a hemp string coated in beeswax and two copper nails for displaying the packets, along with a detailed planting guide (in German and English versions) and a beautifully illustrated folding postcard for your personal greeting.
Since last year all our themed Advent Calendars have shared the same motto: "Magical Time". This is our way of describing the special magic of the Advent period - the heart-warming comfort of tea and cinnamon biscuits by candlelight, festive celebrations with friends and family, the quiet time of contemplation between one year and the next, and the new beginning ushered in by the new year. It also looks towards spring, when the contents of the Advent Calendar can be used as seed sowing time comes round again. Light, warmth and the sun return and the gardening cycle begins anew.
.. oh, and by the way: as this year's calendars feature our gorgeous newly-designed calendar packets we're once again offering two new Advent Calendar kits that you can fill yourself, with a seed selection of your choice
If you'd like to gift someone a beautiful, individually filled Advent Calendar, simply order one of these sets and decide for yourself which seeds you'd like to have in the calendar packets. Choose 24 seed varieties from our store and pack them in the beautifully designed paper packets - and you've got a unique, personally created seed Advent Calendar.
