      ​@@LuvableAFThe business model seems fundamentally flawed from the get go, experienced gardeners won't want it and people who have never gardened before probably won't want it because they don't want to garden. The market is so niche, people who are looking to garden for the first time and don't want to do it the traditional, cheaper and more rewarding way. I mean the point of gardening is so you can plant that seed with your bare hands and nurture the plant... If the business were to ever work I could only see it working in a D2C model, based on a digital brand, possibly in primary schools but that's niche too.

Dan understands the product but lacks the business side - pretty sure Sara will be all about execution.

    Does this business even still exist? Nothing posted on their fb page for a year and the website doesn't exist. The product was a typical lockdown novelty and is nothing special when compared with packets of seeds, on top of this he has made deals that straitjacket his business. Can't understand why Sara even made an offer and it seems it didn't go through. Price is another issue....£15 for a selection box, and again not available online currently.
