Yes! Hortiki kits are specifically designed to meet the needs of classrooms, camps, and other group settings. They’re fun, educational, and thoughtfully crafted to meet all applicable safety standards, making them a perfect fit for kids 6 and up.

Garden seeds don’t expire like food. While their germination rates can gradually decline over time, garden seeds can remain viable for years when stored properly.

The "packed for" date on our seed packets indicates the year the seeds were harvested and packaged. We routinely test our seeds to ensure they are still sprouting and growing at high germination rates.

Concerned about the 'packed for' date on your Hortiki seed packets? Don't be! All Hortiki Products come with our FEARLESS GARDENING GUARANTEE. If your seeds don't grow for any reason, just let us know. We will replace your seeds for free!

Our kits are designed for children aged 6 and older, which means they are not subject to the small parts choking hazard regulation that applies to products for children 3 and under. At this age, kids typically have all their molars and can safely handle seeds and other materials.

That said, it’s always a good idea to teach children not to put non-food items in their mouths. For younger siblings or friends under 3 who may want to join the fun, supervision is key—gardening together can be a wonderful activity when done safely!

No! Our kits are completely free of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals. We use natural, organic materials to keep the gardening experience safe and healthy for kids and the environment.

Store seeds in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and out of reach of young children. This ensures they remain safe and viable for future use while keeping them away from curious hands.

Hortiki kits are thoughtfully designed to be safe and fun for children, but if you're using other gardening tools or supplies, it’s important to take extra care to ensure they are appropriate for kids. General garden safety is key to creating a secure and enjoyable experience.

Here are some tips:

• Supervise Young Gardeners: Keep an eye on kids, especially around tools, water buckets, or sharp objects.
• Avoid Dangerous Substances: Keep fertilizers, pesticides, and even organic products out of reach.
• Teach Good Habits Early: Show children not to eat seeds, soil, or any plant parts unless you’ve said it’s okay.
• Prevent Water Hazards: Don’t leave buckets or open containers with more than six inches of water unattended—they can pose a drowning risk.
• Protect Against Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen, hats, and proper hydration to keep kids safe outdoors.
