The crunchy carrots taste especially delicious—after all, they planted and harvested them themselves! A fun Easter gift for children that they'll enjoy for a long time!
2. Easter eggs with a difference: Colorful flower marbles in a mini egg carton
Who says Easter eggs always come from chickens or are filled with chocolate? 🤭 Our colorful flower marbles in a mini egg carton are brand new to the city gardener range. These colorful little seed bombs can be easily thrown onto the ground. With a little patience and regular watering, beautiful wildflowers will grow from the colorful seed bombs.

3. Seed bombs: Make bees happy with a seed bomb
Bees are so valuable to our environment and must be protected – and with the Bienenwohl seed bombs, even the littlest ones can learn this in a playful way. 🐝 The small seed bombs are filled with bee-friendly seeds – giving bees a valuable habitat. "Making bees happy by sending them" is the slogan for our Bienenwohl products – and it's just as easy: Find a nice spot, throw the Bienenwohl seed bombs onto the soil, water them, and wait patiently for the beautiful blooms. 🌻
A fantastic joint project that you'll enjoy together for many months, and with which you can do two things for the bees. 💚 Because they can not only enjoy their favorite flowers, but also even more flower meadows: We invest a portion of the proceeds from our bee-welfare products in planting flowering areas in and around our hometown of Nordhorn in Lower Saxony, where numerous animals find food and shelter.
