About Little Sprouts Garden Box

Little Sprouts Garden Box is an Irish garden, nature and folklore subscription for children aged 3 to 9, made and packed in Ardee, Co. Louth.

Every month brings a new seasonal adventure: three things to grow, an original Irish folklore story, hands-on nature activities and simple seasonal recipes. Everything arrives ready to open and explore together.

No garden is needed. Every growing activity can be completed using a windowsill, balcony, kitchen table or a few simple pots and containers.

Each box is created around the Irish seasons and the stories that belong to them, connecting children to the natural world in a way that feels genuinely Irish rather than borrowed from somewhere else.

Little Sprouts Garden Box ships within the EU and UK. If you are based elsewhere, the Little Sprouts Letter brings Irish folklore, recipes and nature activities through your letterbox anywhere in the world.

Frequently asked questions

What age is the box suitable for?

The box is designed for children aged 3 and up. Younger children will need more grown-up support, while older children can complete many elements independently. Siblings of different ages can enjoy the same box together.

Do we need a garden?

No. Every growing activity can be completed in a pot, container or on a windowsill. Nature activities can be enjoyed in a garden, on a balcony, in a local park or during a short family walk.

Is everything included?

The box contains the main activity materials and full instructions. Some activities and recipes may require everyday household items, basic ingredients, planting containers or natural treasures collected outside.

Can siblings share a box?

Yes. Siblings can enjoy one box together. You may wish to provide additional growing containers so that each child can care for something of their own.

Where does Little Sprouts deliver?

The Little Sprouts Garden Box delivers across Ireland, Northern Ireland, the UK, and the EU. Standard delivery applies. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location.

What if something doesn’t grow?

Seeds and bulbs are living things, and sometimes they need a little extra time or a different growing spot. Every booklet includes growing tips and guidance. If something does not grow the first time, get in touch and we will help.
