The Rose press garden is helping millennials embrace their green fingers

Gardening is predicted to be the next trend on the rise in Spring 2021, and with a number of mental health and wellbeing benefits, we can understand why. Enter: The Rose Press Garden, a seed company that shows just how easy it is to create a beautiful garden from scratch – because there’s something very cathartic about being out in nature, getting your hands dirty and watching your babies grow.

Norfolk local, Lizzie Fox, has always been a keen gardener and with a little bit more time on her side during lockdown, decided to channel her love for flowers – and more specifically sowing them herself – into a small business to help flower lovers everywhere experience the same joy.

The Rose Press Garden is offering a new perspective on gardening – away from being a frumpy and elderly pastime as it has been wrongly branded in the past, and is on a mission to turn gardens, balconies and driveways into beautiful flower-filled spaces this Spring.

The increased interest in gardening has brought with it a slew of new gardeners and while many are looking for ways to start growing their own vegetables and herbs, others are simply hoping to add a little sparkle and brightness to their gardens in a time when the world is all a bit grey.

The Rose Press Garden is offering monthly subscription boxes (£15) that include five packets of gorgeous flower seeds delivered direct to your doorstep and ready to sow straight away.

Each box contains step-by-step instruction cards to guide you through every stage of making your garden beautiful and with every order a £1 donation is made to Greenfingers Charity, that create magical gardens at Children’s hospices.

A wonderful mix of beautiful flower varieties that will create sumptuous borders for long flowering seasons, the flower seeds are also available to purchase separately, in a number of different varieties:
