EVERYDAY WONDERS is a brand new range of personality-inspired flower seed gifts, celebrating recognisable people, in plant form.
While the other Stems of Wonder collections show off plants with unusual behaviours and botanical party tricks, Everyday Wonders finds the wonder in familiar flowers and familiar people in our lives who are anything but ordinary, matching the character of each flower with the sort of person you instantly recognise.

From the cheerfully distractible to the quietly unshakeable, you may find someone you know rather well.

Beautifully packaged and ready to gift, with seeds, a growing pod, bamboo label and simple growing instructions inside.

Available now for NZ-wide delivery. Check out the full range via link in bio. 😊🌸

Something completely new has been growing behind the scenes - so excited to finally share it!

EVERYDAY WONDERS is a new range of personality-inspired flower seed gifts.
Eight much-loved flowers have been matched with eight wonderfully recognisable personalities, with each pairing taking its cue from the flower’s own character.

This time, the wonders aren’t unusual plants with botanical party tricks. They’re the familiar flowers and familiar people in our everyday lives who are anything but ordinary.
There’s the dependable one who quietly holds everything together. The distractible one whose enthusiasm has a habit of spreading. The unmistakably individual one who is never particularly concerned with blending in. And five more characters who may remind you of someone you know - swipe through to meet all eight.

Each kit contains flower seeds, a self-contained seed-raising pellet, a bamboo plant label and simple growing instructions, beautifully presented in a textured linen-finish box with tissue-wrapped contents, ready to gift.

Available now for NZ-wide delivery.

Pre-orders now open!
Looking for a whole season of unusual growing?
The Sensory Box is our one-off spring experience (see previous posts), but for those who want to keep discovering, there is the full Spring Wonder Box subscription.
Across five fortnightly deliveries from September to November, you’ll grow ten intriguing plants, each selected for its unusual appearance, behaviour or botanical surprise.

The plants pictured are a glimpse of what’s to come. Expect moving leaves, colour-changing blooms, plants in disguise, curious seed pods, glistening carnivores and plenty of plants you’re unlikely to find in an ordinary seed rack.
Each delivery includes seeds, illustrated growing guides, seed-raising mix, a mini spritzer, plant labels and any extra supplies needed for the particular seeds in that box. Your first box also includes a heat mat to help get those warmth-loving seeds started.

Available for yourself or as a wonderfully unexpected gift. All five NZ-wide deliveries are included in the subscription price (surcharge for rural delivery).

✨ Pre-orders are now open for spring ✨

Each of its four plants offers a completely different sensory surprise:
Sensitive Plant, with leaves that fold when touched.

Electric Daisy, an extraordinary flower that makes your tongue tingle and buzz.
The box also includes illustrated growing guides, seed-raising mix, wooden plant labels and a mini spritzer.
Designed for spring sowing, couriered NZ-wide in September.
