My Garden Box May 2019 Review
I am unbelievably excited to introduce you to a NEW subscription box (new to me, anyways)! It is called My Garden Box, and every month you receive a FULL SIZE plant along with planters for it, soil, other accessories like moss or rocks, and a few fun gardening related items. I can’t tell you how much I am in love with this box!
Just look at how jam packed this box is! I could barely fit everything in this photo. To say I’m happy is a HUGE understatement - I’m ecstatic!
First, let’s break down the instructions included. There are three lovely pages - one is a little letter from the company explaining what the theme of the month is and why it was picked. One page explains all about the plant with some fun facts and how to take care of it. The final page shows you in full color photos step by step how to plant this. I am blown away. The instructions are easy to follow and very detailed, and I love all the information we receive about the plant.
Next up we have some of the pieces that form this month’s project. The metal piece is a stake to be put in the planter, the small chalkboard goes onto the metal stake, and the chalk is supplied so you can write down the name of the plant on the chalkboard piece so you always know what it is - and guests can easily see what it is too!
Just look at this gorgeous plant (called a Jade Jewel). I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened the box to receive this! I mean, this is a FULL GROWN, beautifully cared for plant. If you follow my blog, you know I’ve tried other plant boxes and they tend to send little tiny plants that have just been re-potted; most of the time, those plants were so small and suffered such a shock from shipping that they were dead within a few weeks no matter how you cared for them. Not this plant. This is a BEAUTIFUL full grown plant that suffered no shock from this company’s extremely fast shipping. It is very healthy, and I know I will enjoy it for many months to come.
This is the pot that came in the package. Yes, folks, this is a REAL terra cotta pot. Not something plastic and flimsy but something of real substance and high quality.
Also included was a bag of rocks to help with planting (that’s the green bag above), and some delicious smelling oatmeal soap to rejuvenate your hands after planting. Oh, yeah, and they were super considerate and added a small washcloth too. This company is GREAT. They really do think of everything.
Finally, My Garden Box even sends you a bag of soil. I mean, come on! This is INSANE. They literally send you everything you need for this project. I always have potting soil on hand, but the amount varies and at this time I certainly didn’t have enough for this project. No worries, though, because this company has me covered with just the right amount of soil. WOW.
Can you tell? This box BLEW MY MIND. Everything is full size to the max, and all the products in it are extremely high quality. Shipping was crazy fast, and all of my items arrived in perfect condition. This. Is. Amazing. You need to check this place out RIGHT NOW - you are going to love it!
