The Roman Empire, one of the greatest and most popular civilisations in world history, began in Rome in 753 BC and lasted well over a 1000 years. Many of the herbs we use today were discovered by the ancient Romans, whose uses extended beyond cuisine to medicines, aphrodisiacs and sending the dearly departed to a happy afterlife.
Today, we still maintain many of the ancient beliefs, using the oils of these herbs in a healing and the leaves in cooking!
It makes an ideal present for any food lover, gardener, or in fact anyone who likes fresh ingredients. The kit includes everything you need to get started:
What's in the box
5 packs of seeds: Organic Basil, Organic Oregano, Organic Thyme, Organic Sage and Organic Coriander.
5 laser-cut, named bamboo plant tags
5 water-activated germination pellets
5 reusable, long-lasting bamboo pots with trays
Growing instructions on the box
All you need is your own pots to grown these seeds. Also available in the range is the Roman growing starter kit from Sprig & Sprout.
Packaging
This kit comes in a cardboard compostable box. The bamboo pots and trays in the Indoor Roman Herb Growing kit are manufactured using 10% melamine which is used to bind the bamboo fibres. This makes the bamboo really strong and almost unbreakable. The manufacturer maintains that these pots & trays break down and degrade within 3 years from new and can be safely composted. Seeds are airtight packaged in foil wrapper, this does have a plastic liner so would need to go in general recycling.
Materials
Recycled box, recyclable paper sleeve and bamboo pots and plant tags.
