[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the MODERN SPROUT SEED BALL KIT. The kit comes with the following: Air Dry Clay, Garden Guide Ruler and 3 Seed Packages. You will need the following items which most everyone will have around the house: One Cup Soil, Mixing Bowl, Newspaper and an Old Box or Baking Tray. Instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. Overall a great kit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seed ball kit is super convenient and simple to use. All you need is soil and something to grow the flowers in and the seed balls do the rest of the work. The instructions are very clear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this kit for free in exchange for a review, but it was so cute I ended up going to the company website and loading up my cart with other items from this brand. The kit is a decent size and contains everything you need to plant a wildflower garden. It uses compostable and biodegradable materials. The instructions are simple and it's a fun activity to do with kids.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seed ball kit comes in a cute packaging and contains easy to read instructions. It is a creative way to get a child into gardening. You mix seeds with clay and then you plant the clay balls. It seems a little excessive if you just wanna plant some seeds. I was a bit disappointed when I noticed several stickers on the underneath stating they were packed for 2025, but when peeled away, the sticker below said packed for 2024. Old seeds don’t always germinate, so it seems like they were just trying to get rid of some stock.

Hi, While seeds do lose a bit of their potency after a year (for example the seeds may have a 96% germination rate in year one, and a 94% germination rate in year two), we provide more than enough seeds to ensure successful growth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were so easy and fun to do with my kids! They like the fact that they are ball shaped. They didn't have to push seeds down in the dirt with their fingers, so less mess made them happy too. They hate getting dirty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are such fun kits! We are so excited to use them. We haven't started them yet due to the season, but the instructions are very clear. We will probably get another kit and plant more than one at a time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute little seed ball kit. It was super easy to plant. My daughter helped with me. We're really excited everything to start growing and can't wait to see how they do. She likes to check it each day to see if anything has sprouted up, although it hasn't been long enough yet!
Great gift - cute packaging and the seed grow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cute packaging and fun flowers - Love these kits for client gifts or spring gifts for friends. Good variety. Planted these in a kind of public landing area - they grew with pretty minimal support/watering. Recommend!
Perfect for kids and beginners

I received this as part of a grab bag for Christmas. I really loved the idea and the fact that it was an activity as well as. However there were so few seeds provided to make any real number of balls. That was disappointing and not many sprouted.
1 reply from Customer Service team - 2 years ago
We're sorry to hear your kit didn't contain enough seeds. Each seed ball only needs 2-3 seeds on it to grow successfully. That said, if you'd like to receive additional seeds, please reach out to us at service@modsprout.com. We'd be happy to help.
They really do grow!

I wasn’t expecting anything to grow based on the reviews. I am new to gardening so I did this as a way to start learning to garden since it is a kit. I followed the directions to a T. The only thing I may have done differently is that I put them in small pots inside the house in a sunny area before I transfer them outside. I divided the pots according to each seed packet. Within a day or so, the hummingbird seeds started sprouting! And now all have started sprouting after a few weeks. This really does work!!

With the right care and conditions, it all grows! Mother nature can be fickle but we're so happy yo hear of your planting experience! Happy cultivating!
Still hopeful…

So far, the process for making the seed balls has been quite fun! After reading the previous reviews, I understand why it comes with so few seeds. The only part I’m sad about it the lack of sprouts. I’ve planted both the vegetable (pizza) collection and the wildflower collection and neither set has amounted to any sprouts. I’ve watered them daily now and haven’t seen anything after 3 weeks. I’m not sure if it’s me or the seeds at this point but I’m still hoping something will pop up as we’ve been way past frost season for awhile now.

Sounds like you've done everything right. They may just need a bit more time, sunshine and warmth. That said, if they don't sprout after a couple more weeks, please email us at service@modsprout.com and we'd be happy to send you more to try again as part of our Thrive Promise.

Unfortunately, some seeds may fail to germinate given the proper conditions while other ones thrive in. Mother nature is a fickle thing! As part of our Thrive Promise, we are happy to send you replacement components to try again. Just email us at service@modsprout.com and we'd be glad to assist.

I bought this product locally at Airlie Gardens, known for its azaleas, flowers, etc. The clay is like concrete. I would have to “cut it.” There is no way I could mix the clay and top soil. And there were 4-5 seeds per packet. A waste of money.

Hey Colin! - t sounds like you have a defective kit. Your clay should definitely not be hardened that way. We're more than happy to offer you a complete replacement as part of our Thrive promise. Reach out to our team with your kit type and address at service@modsprout.com for a fresh start. - I'll note that our seed packets are comparably "lighter" than commercial seed kits as we package each kit with a unique blend of non-GMO seeds with strong germination rates. This means our kits are sized to create one healthy plant per DIY seedball. - Hope to hear from you soon!

Way too expensive for what you get. There were about 4 seeds per packet and a ton of steps to assemble the seed balls. Waste of time and money. I can’t even believe someone approved this product.
1 reply from Modern Sprout team - 2 years ago
Hey there! It sounds like your kit had too few seeds. While we pack blends of seeds in our kits, 4 seeds in total is far too few, though we pack less than commercial seed kits as we source high quality non-GMO seeds that are more successful on average. The intent is to have one healthy plant per ball, but Four is mighty disappointing. We pack seed packages by the weight, which can account for only a few seeds in 1/3 of the included packs of seeds- just like how sunflower seeds are much larger than say, mint seeds. We're happy to send over a few more seed packets if needed! Do reach out to us at service@modsprout.com and tell us about your experience and use the name of your kit as part of our Thrive Promise.
