The tomato is huge!

I'm shocked how big the tomatoes got. The marigolds didn't sprout. I gave one tomato seedling to my SIL and it is a gigantic bush! I don't think these are beefsteak but actual heirlooms by the way they look. Some of mine are small and round and some look more heirloom. We have only had 1 turn red and I picked it premature. Hopefully we have more ready to eat. There are about 40 growing in Mid-August in NJ.

Great gift for cat lovers

This is a really cute gift idea for cat lovers. The set includes everything you need to grow one catnip plant and one catmint plant. It comes with an oval base tray, two bucket style planters, seeds for both plants, a small bag of growing medium and a pair of plant markers. All you need to supply is the water, and they're guaranteed to grow.Everything is contained in a colorful eye-catching package that's perfect for any occasion. As a dedicated cat momma, I wouldn't mind receiving this set for myself. If the recipient enjoys gardening, it's two gifts in one. If not, they might pick up a new hobby. Overall, it's a win-win for everyone, especially the cats.

10/10 Recommend for any cat owner & easy to grow!~

I wanted to give a proper review. So I got this in March. It is now May. The instructions are very easy to follow. The substrate provided works very nice. It does say if you want to add holes on the bottom you can. I did this w/a nail & hammer & it was a tad annoying but its a one & done deal. The little containers where not covered but I had them growing in my West (sun rising) window. They germinated without any issue (& I have some seeds let over too) They now look like tiny bushes & I want to see how much bigger I can get them before harvest. My cats can't reach the plants but they do try. The lower tray is perfect to have water in w/the 2 containers. I added some embroidery 100% cotton floss through the holes I punched to ensure effective watering. This is a perfect kit for anyone who has cats or gardens! You don't have to be skilled in this. Just follow the direction, ignore ignore ignore. Water as needed. I've watered mine about once a week if not once every 2 weeks. NEVER WATER FROM THE TOP IF YOU CAN! But I highly would recommend this for any cat owner!!

Cute, easy, and actually grows!

I ordered the BUZZY Catnip & Catmint Grow Kit mainly as a fun little project (and honestly for the adorable design), but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it actually works.The kit comes with everything you need—seeds, growing medium, and the planter—so there’s no guesswork involved. Setup was super simple: just add water and place it in a sunny spot. Within about a week, I started seeing sprouts, which was exciting and reassuring that the seeds are viable.The planter itself is sturdy and compact, making it perfect for a windowsill or small space. I also like that it grows both catnip and catmint, so you get a little variety.If you have cats, this is a great way to give them fresh, homegrown greens. Mine were definitely interested once it started growing! Even if you don’t have pets, it’s still a cute and low-maintenance indoor gardening kit.The only minor downside is that the pots are on the smaller side, so you may eventually want to transfer the plants if they really take off—but for a starter kit, it’s perfect.Overall, this is a great beginner-friendly grow kit and makes a really nice gift too. Would definitely recommend!

Nice kit, think I killed mine though...

This is a fun little kit and pretty beginner friendly. The instructions are simple to follow, and I was actually surprised at how quickly things started sprouting once I got it set up. It’s a cute setup too, so it doesn’t look out of place sitting on a windowsill or counter.That said, I definitely ran into some issues that were probably user error more than anything. Mine ended up drying out at one point, and when I tried to correct it, I think I overwatered and kind of threw things off. Most of what had sprouted didn’t make it, and now only a few are trying to come back. I’m not super optimistic about this round, but I’d try again with a little more attention to watering.One thing I do wish is that the pots came with drainage holes already in place. The instructions mention drilling them yourself, which isn’t a huge deal, but it would’ve been nice if that step was already taken care of.Even with my hiccups, the kit itself seems solid. If you keep a closer eye on moisture levels than I did, I think it would turn out really well.

A great educational opportunity.

Oh my goodness! What a terrific project to do with your little ones. Everything you need to grow catnip & catmint is contained in this all in one kit. The kit contains the pots, decorative tray, soil & seeds to grow herbs cats traditionally enjoy. Your little one can help at every stage, from preparing the soil, planting seeds, gently watering, watching germination & seeing the fruits of their work to offering the herbs to their kitty. It’s a beautiful & educational kit with huge bonuses for your cat as the result. This would be a cute gift for your gardener, cat lover or yourself!

CUTE CAT LOVER GIFT

I like the idea here. Fresh catnip and catmint in a compact little planter is a fun concept for indoor cats, and it also works as a giftable novelty item for the cat person in your life. PACKAGING / CONTENTS: This is an all-in-one kit with two metal pots in a matching tray, seed packets for catnip and catmint, growing medium, plant markers, chalk, and instructions. P resentation is definitely cute and giftable for the cat person in your life. EASE OF SETUP: Very simple starter kit. You do not need to source extra parts beyond water and a place with decent light. Nice for beginners because everything is included and the format is straightforward. QUALITY / DESIGN: The galvanized metal pots and tray look nice enough on a windowsill or shelf. The included markers and chalk are a thoughtful touch and add to the charm. The main design issue is that the pots do not have drainage holes. FUNCTIONALITY: For a grow kit, lack of drainage is a real drawback. It makes it easier to overwater and harder to keep the growing medium in a good moisture range. The instructions mention you can drill holes yourself, but most buyers are going to want this ready to use out of the box. If you leave the pots as is, you will need to be more careful with watering than you would with a typical herb planter. SEEDS / GROWING POTENTIAL: Seed packets appear properly packaged, and this seems like it should be viable if you give it enough light and avoid overwatering. Catnip and catmint are a fun pairing for the intended use.VALUE: At $24.99, this feels overpriced for what you get. The look is cute, but the actual planter design is less practical than it should be at this price. OVERALL: BUY, WITH RESERVATIONS. Cute idea and appealing presentation, but the no-drainage setup and price keep this from being an easy repeat purchase for me.

OK quality. Followed the instructions exactly, planted all the seeds, kept soil moist but not wet, covered with plastic wrap… everything! But only the basil and cilantro grew! So sad I won’t have any chives except this one little sprig that popped up after 2+ weeks already.

Trae todo lo necesario para sembrar las semillas. Las instrucciones son fáciles de entender. La tierra se disolvió adecuadamente con el agua según la medida recomendada.

Neat kit

I every few years I have the desire to grow some stuff - which normally ends with a mess on my patio with plants growing out of control since I live in Florida and everything grows so quickly. This is a great compromise - a small project with a limited scope, perfect for what I enjoy. The kit seems well stocked with just about everything you need - also seems like it’s very good quality for something like this. I’ll know in a few months how success things went - but for now I’m impressed.

Great Concept and Presentation — Just a Few Unknowns

This is such a cute and unique idea. I love that it includes everything you need: two metal tins, soil pellets, plant markers, and even chalk to label them. The packaging is really nice, and it would make a great gift for anyone who loves gardening or wants to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.The only things I’m a little uncertain about are the seed type and the pots themselves. It doesn’t say if the seeds are heirloom or not, and I’m not sure how well the soil pellets will expand to fill the tins. Since it’s November, I didn’t want to start them yet just to have them die off in the cold. The tins also don’t have drainage holes, so you’d need to add something inside to help prevent water from pooling. I also wasn’t sure if metal is the best long-term material for plant health since it can heat up in sunlight.Still, it’s such a creative set. I’d absolutely buy it again, especially for spring planting. It’s simple, thoughtful, and makes gardening feel approachable.

Soak the seeds or they may not germinate!

Comes with everything need to start your herb garden. Only disappointment is the chive seeds never germinated, if you buy this I highly suggest soaking them in water first before planting them!

The 2 that actually sprouted are thriving. But only 2 ever came up.

So after planting all the seeds only 2 grew. We have taken care of them and been very good about watering and caring for them by my god. They're massive. Way bugger then they realistically should be. No flowers yes but I'm surprised by that to be honest. It was disappointing that only 2 sprouted but cool that those 2 got so massive. Waiting on blooms still but figured I'd leave a review now that I've seen how they grow.
