Get yours today and tech your kids how to planet!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This activity is great for kids all ages. My six year old dropped all the seeds into each tray, 12 in total. My 9 year old added soil and water to each, to make it moist. Cover always with tray and keep in a warm place. Super affordable and everyone can help. My 13 year old watches it and keeps water daily!

Great for kids!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product in exchange for my honest review. First of all, it’s almost December in New England, so germinating seeds isn’t something I will be doing for several months. When I do, I can’t wait to try this. Its size is small and it’s lightweight so it will be easy to germinate and grow plants. It seems sturdy enough as well for seed starting. This is perfect for children, a classroom, or someone starting seeds for the first time.

Best greenhouse kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved this product. It makes gardening super easy and accessible for people who don’t have outdoor space to plant stuff. I really like how you can use it indoors.

Perfect for proper germination!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to use this greenhouse next spring! Last year the germination process of my seeds did not go as planned, the temperature of our house literates too much for the poor seeds which put us behind for the summer. This is going to a game changer.

Great Starter Germination Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This germination kit is simple to use and perfect for my small indoor garden. The 12-cell tray gives me plenty of space to start different seeds, and the clear dome helps keep everything warm and moist so the seeds sprout well. It’s sturdy, easy to set up, and makes starting my own herbs and veggies feel fun and stress-free. It’s a great little kit for my gardening projects.

A Fun, Foolproof Way to Start Seeds Indoors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Back to the Roots Greenhouse Germination Kit on a whim, and it turned out to be such a cute, low-stress way to start seeds indoors. Everything comes neatly organized, and the setup took me maybe five minutes — literally just add water, pop in the pellets, and plant. The little greenhouse dome actually works! It holds moisture really well, so I didn’t have to constantly check on it or worry about the soil drying out. My seeds sprouted faster than I expected, and it was super satisfying watching the tiny green shoots come up day by day. The only thing I’d say is that the greenhouse is small, so it’s great for beginners, kids, or small batches of herbs or veggies, but not for starting a whole garden. Still, for trying out seed-starting without any fuss, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s an easy, fun kit that makes you feel like a successful plant parent — even if you don’t usually have the best luck with seeds.

Waste of money
Thought this would be a fun way for my kids to watch their seesaw start before moving them to the garden, but it's so flimsy they couldn't use it. Extremely disappointed, as the lid doesn't fit on, the vent arrived cracked, and the seed tray feels like it's going to fall apart. Usually seeds sprout for me fairly quickly, but these just look like a tray of dirt.

Mold growth
White mold grew within a few days. I tried to air out the soil some but it’s only grown more. Some of my seeds have started to sprout so it’s working but the mold is concerning.

To prevent this, improve airflow by opening the top vents and ensure adequate light exposure. Please reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with further questions or concerns—we're here to help!

Don't buy this
It's a water trap. Plants don't thrive as they should in these and mold grows extremely quick. I bought this and found someone giving away multiple small pots so I did both. I did the same seeds in the individual pots and this germination kit, one wasn't growing, one sprouted already. After a week or two the kit started molding and my seeds were pretty much wasted. The individual pots on the other hand are growing extremely well.
