A Perfect Easter Gift for Gardeners

 

GrowVeg.com – the innovative garden planning website for growing your own fruit and vegetables – has come up with the perfect Easter gift for gardening friends and family: Subscription Gift Vouchers which give the gardener a perfectly planned vegetable patch.

More and more people are including fruit and vegetables in their gardens as they experience the superior taste and health benefits of home grown food.  But growing vegetables has traditionally needed more experience than picking out plants from a garden centre.  Many crops need to be grown from seed, spaced correctly and ‘rotated’ in groups to prevent the build-up of pests or loss of soil nutrients.

With Easter falling early in 2008 it is the perfect time to plan the garden.  A GrowVeg.com subscription makes the process simple and enjoyable.  Each Gift Voucher allows the gardener to build a personalised interactive plan of their garden using the unique Garden Planning Tool. 

Gardeners simply sketch out their growing space, then add vegetables to it by clicking and dropping them onto the area.  An intuitive colour-coded circle around each plant shows how much space it requires and which crops to keep together. Plants can easily be rearranged by dragging them into another location until the perfect layout is achieved.

Once the vegetable patch is planned, GrowVeg.com will send email reminders twice a month listing which vegetables need sowing or planting out.  A complete list of plants and their spacing can quickly be printed, giving a useful summary of what to buy and when to plant and harvest.

Gift vouchers are available for one or two year subscriptions to the Garden Planning Tool, costing just £15 and £25 respectively.  Vouchers are sent in an exclusive GrowVeg.com card or by email with a personalised message to the recipient.  With a perfectly planned vegetable patch a GrowVeg.com Gift Certificate is sure to be remembered right through the year!
