Description
Discover the magic of growing plants from seeds with this beautifully illustrated card deck. Featuring 52 plants ranging from flowers to herbs, each card illustrates the full lifecycle of a plant, explores its uses and reveals some of the myths and stories behind its name. Learn how to identify seeds, the best times to plant them, and how the blooms that sprout up can be used in the kitchen, in the medicine kit, or simply to infuse your life with a touch of natural magic.
Presented in a covetable wafer-sealed box, the accompanying 16-page booklet provides all the information you will need to embark on your seed-growing journey. Alongside this hands-on guidance, the reader will be engaged with snippets of folklore and traditions that further enhance their appreciation of nature and help them discover the inherent magic of seeds.
Because seeds are inherently magical. Each little one holds the potential to become a new plant and provide more seeds—connecting us to the circle of life and nature's endless ability to surprise and delight. The act of planting seeds and watching them grow into seedlings and then into productive plants is enormously therapeutic. Even when plans go awry, a gardener is constantly learning, growing, and deepening their connection to nature.
With this handy card deck, perfect for beginners or more experienced gardeners alike, planning a new garden is easy, and knowing the meaning and story behind each plant makes the process even more magical. Whether the reader is a practising green witch or simply an amateur gardener with a spiritual affinity for nature, The Magic of Seeds Card Deck will provide everything they need to successfully cultivate a garden from seed and unlock the wonders of nature.
