That’s the trick — it starts fast, so they stay hooked. And the rest is built so they can run it alone: the water’s sealed in, the soil comes as a disc, watering is just filling to a line. Want in on the first batch?

The seeds don’t start in soil — they start in a clear dish with marked spots. Drop each seed on its spot, close the lid, go to bed. Roots show up in a day or two, and you can both watch them grow. Once they’re strong, they move into the pots.
There isn’t one. The water’s sealed inside the base — knock it over, nothing comes out. The soil is a solid disc that drops into the pot. Watering means filling to a line on the front. A four-year-old can do every bit of it. That’s the point.
