~ MINI COLLECTIONS ~ Here are some nice groups that go well together, and it even works out a little bit cheaper this way too. As ever, all the seeds come with growing instructions, and usually recipes too. We fold the minicollections up seperately from the rest of your order, as a small packet containing the seeds. This unfolds when opened with growing instructions, notes and seedsaving information printed inside. They do of course make excellent gifts - we can even send them direct to the recipient if you wish - just let us know and we'll leave the receipt out, and mark the packet 'Gift from xxxx - do not open before dd/mm/yy'. (Or any other message you want.) We try to avoid substitutions but occasionally we may have to swap a packet for something equally interesting - especially towards the end of the season. We pack and send out orders twice a week. For gifts being sent direct, please send in your order at least 2 weeks beforehand, just to be absolutely sure it will arrive in time.   Gift Orders: If you are ordering as a gift for someone, there are free options you can add to your order, including a 'don't open before' date on the package. See the link 'is your order a gift' in the header of this page. The Kitchen Garden Collection Interesting and very tasty, and bound to be a talking point on the table or in the garden.
