Happy National Tomato Day to all our garden enthusiasts! 🍅🎉

Today, we're not just celebrating any tomato - we're shining the spotlight on our favourite variety, the Jani Bush Tomato. Packed inside this month's Tub Club box, the Jani Bush Tomato is a grower's delight, producing vibrant, red, salad-worthy tomatoes on compact bushes that flourish up to 80 cm in height.

Why do we love it? Because it's the perfect pick for new gardeners! 👩‍🌾🌱 No need for complex pruning or training, and whether they're grown in the fresh outdoor air, a sun-kissed conservatory, or within an unheated greenhouse, these robust beauties deliver a bountiful crop without the fuss.

On , let's get those green fingers working and celebrate the simplicity and joy of growing. Beginners, take a bow — your gardening journey is looking as promising as the juicy Jani Bush Tomato!

Celebrate the roots of togetherness with us during Community Garden Week 2024! 🌿🤝

As we sow seeds side by side, we're reminded of how gardens are more than just spaces for plants to grow—they're places where *communities* blossom. At The Tub Club, we believe in the power of hands in the soil, nurturing not just plants but the bonds between us.

This week, we're gifting free seed packs to schools and community groups, because everyone deserves to witness the magic of growth, and every neighbourhood should flourish with green spaces. Our organic, heirloom seeds are little promises of future harvests, waiting to spring into life in communal soils.

Let's dig deep, plant hope, and grow joy *together*. 🌸✨ To all educators and community leaders passionate about infusing sustainability and health into your curriculum and neighbourhoods, reach out to us for your free seed packs.

Here's to sharing abundance, fostering sustainable habits, and celebrating the fruits of collective efforts!

Pick up your seeds, join hands with nature, and let's transform our communities, one garden at a time. 💚

Welcome, Tub Club members! 🌱☀️

Swap April Showers for April Flowers and embrace the new month's bounty with our exciting growing box, specially curated to bring colour, flavour, and fun into your gardens.

Our April showcase stars three stellar varieties:

Jani Bush Tomato 🍅, an early bush variety beloved for its bright red salad tomatoes. Easy for beginners, it's happy in the outdoors, a conservatory, or an unheated greenhouse.

Meet the Cucamelon 🍉, the cutest addition to your garden. It looks like a mini watermelon but tastes like a cucumber with a lime twist! Despite its exotic appearance, it's easier to grow than regular cucumbers and resistant to pests.

Finally, Sweet Genovese Basil 🌿, a fragrant favourite that transports you straight to the Mediterranean. Let it thrive on your windowsill or outdoors.

Our mission at The Tub Club is simple — seamless gardening for the urban dweller. Enjoy reusable pots, pot stickers, and jargon-free guides, letting you dive into gardening with ease. With our peat-free compost, chemical-free seeds, and dedicated support through WhatsApp, we're here to simplify your gardening journey while nurturing our environment.

Join us as we unlock the endless joys of home gardening this April - one Tub Club box at a time!

Hello, my green-thumbed friends! 🌞🌱

Growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs for flavour transforms meals from good to unforgettable.

Unlike the varieties often found in supermarkets (bred for uniformity, longer shelf life, and resilience to long-distance transportation), home-grown produce prioritises taste and nutritional value. When you grow your own, you also open up a world of heirloom and speciality varieties unavailable in shops, each with unique flavours that supermarket produce can't match. Plus, harvesting fresh from your garden means enjoying produce at its peak, when it’s most flavourful and nutrient-rich. This approach to gardening creates a deeper connection to your food, and the satisfaction of growing it yourself enriches every bite.

Hi, everyone! I’m Chris, the proud founder of The Tub Club. Fuelled by a long-standing passion for gardening, we’ve sprung up to cultivate green fingers across the UK!

Thanks to an unexpected amount of free time during lockdown (thank you redundancy), I transformed my love for gardening into a thriving business, supplying our homegrown microgreens at local markets. Our aspiration was always to empower everyone to experience the magic of growing and harvesting their own food - all from the comfort of their homes.

Understanding the most common apprehensions—like not knowing where to begin, having too little space, or the infamous 'I'm good at killing plants'—I started The Tub Club to make home gardening accessible for all.

Our mission? To make you confidently say, 'I can grow this!' Our monthly home gardening kits are not just a bunch of seeds, but a complete package wrapped with love, featuring carefully chosen seeds for their ease of growth, flavour, and visual appeal, and every essential, from pots and saucers to peat-free compost and pot stickers.

And what sets us apart? We hold your hand through your gardening journey—we’re not just putting a kit in your hand but also equipping you with detailed, jargon-free growing guides, and a direct line of support via WhatsApp, for every little query you may have.

Join us—the Tub Club, where we believe that growing is for everyone, we're just here to make it a little easier.

Let’s harvest the benefits of homegrown fruit, vegetables and herbs together!🌱💚👍
