Plant in Their Memory: A Gentle Way to Remember Someone You Love
Grief is deeply personal. For me, one of the most comforting ways to remember my mum has always been through the garden.
I first created our memorial seeds to memorialise my beautiful mum, who adored her garden. Some of my fondest memories are of her surrounded by flowers, watching things grow and tending to her garden with so much love and visiting plant nurseries and Bunnings with her and watching her eyes light up as she placed potted plants into her basket.
She was often joined by her cheeky Dutch rabbit, Molly, who was allowed to roam freely beside her, and sometimes by the neighbour's cat, purring contentedly nearby.
There was something so peaceful about those moments. The garden was a place where she was happy, and where life was always quietly beginning, growing and blooming.
That is where the idea for our Plant in Their Memory range began.
I wanted to create something that could offer a gentle way to remember someone special. Something living. Something that could be planted, cared for and watched as it slowly grows.
Because sometimes, when someone we love is no longer here, having something tangible to nurture can bring a little comfort. A seed placed into soil. The first tiny green shoot. A flower opening. A reminder of someone deeply loved.
Memorial Garden Grow Kits
Our Memorial Garden Grow Kits have been created as a simple and meaningful way to grow something in memory of someone special.
We also have a Memorial Garden Grow Kit in White, along with a Memorial Garden Grow Kit for Pet Loss and a White Memorial Garden Grow Kit for Pet Loss. These have been created to honour the very special bond we share with our animal companions.
Each kit includes everything needed to begin growing, along with a thoughtful card to accompany the gift.
Memorial Planting Kits
Our Memorial Planting Kit in Blush Pink, Memorial Planting Kit in Sage Green and Memorial Planting Kit in White offer another thoughtful way to create a small living tribute at home.
Plantable Cards and Seed Paper
Our Plantable Cards and seed paper are a little different from an ordinary card. Made from seed embedded paper, they can be planted after the message has been read and cared for as they grow into flowers.
For a gentle message of love, remembrance and support, explore our Plantable Seed Paper Hearts, Plantable Seed Paper Butterflies and Plantable Seed Paper Paw Prints.

A little piece of my mum's garden
This collection means a great deal to me because it began with my mum.
I know that nothing can replace the person we've lost, and I would never want to suggest that grief can be healed simply by planting a seed.
But I do believe there can be comfort in creating a small ritual of remembrance. In putting your hands into the soil. In watching something slowly come to life. In seeing a flower bloom and thinking of the person who will always be part of you.
I hope these little gardens, seeds and growing gifts can offer that same gentle feeling to someone else.
A place to remember.
A place to pause.
A place to let love keep growing.
