From the brand

Hi. My name is Jen.

I invented Seeding Square.

Originally, I was a school teacher. One day when teaching my students how plants grow, one was certain that carrots come from the store, not the ground. It dialed me into a disconnect in understanding where our food comes from.

Years later, my husband and I wanted to give our kids the fun of growing vegetables – something we both enjoyed growing up. So, we all rolled up our sleeves and put in our first vegetable garden.

Our memories of youthful garden raids were epic – those crunchy carrots, crisp peas, and deliciously juicy strawberries! It turns out, the actual gardeners had been our parents. As gardening beginners, we were in for a few surprises.

Reality struck after the little green shoots popped up: it was hard to tell the weeds from the seedlings. That first garden was not the harvesting success we had dreamed of.

Next, we researched gardening approaches to optimize our space for a bigger harvest and to make weed identification easier. We discovered Square Foot Gardening, which didn’t match our garden setup.

We didn’t have the raised garden beds for traditional Square Foot Gardening, and our garden plot had an unusual shape – making it impossible to install the square-foot grids required by SFG.

Instead, we applied the textbook knowledge of Square Foot Gardening to make our seed-spacing templates. Adding sidewalls removed the need for the grids altogether – as the impressions left in the soil became the grid!

Those first jigs worked so well that friends, family & neighbours asked to borrow our “magical” squares for their gardens. Then our next ah-ha moment happened…we colour-coded the numerous jigs into one master template.

That colour-coding made Seeding Square the perfect tool for introducing kids to gardening. They love it! (We are now in school garden programs around the world.)

It started as a homemade tool to simplify our planting process and help us get more food from our tiny garden. But it worked so well that we had to share our creation with the world.

What an incredible journey it’s been – helping people of all ages and experience levels, to grow their vegetables with success – while making it fun and easy to do.

There are so many reasons to plant a vegetable garden: the thrill of eating your home-grown harvest, exercise, and fresh air, a family hobby (or me-time), or even as a way to lighten the grocery bill.

Whatever your reason(s) may be, I hope you will join Team Seeding Square on planting day…and remember: when you get more vegetables than you know what to do with – sharing is caring.

Happy planting! ~Jen

🥕HELPING YOU GARDEN BETTER🥦 We help people grow high-density vegetable gardens with confidence. Seeding Square, our seed spacing template – is inspired from the popular Square Foot Gardening method, is fun for all ages, and turns anyone into a master gardener! So, get ready for a truly impressive crop of home-grown vegetables.
🍉SPACE SEEDS PERFECTLY🥒 Plant your garden with ease and watch the sprouts emerge straight and tidy. Sowing seeds (and seedlings) with the optimal amount of space allows gardeners to grow a large harvest from a small garden. Bonus: Maximized spacing = less exposed soil = less water evaporation = a lower water bill.
🧅SPOT WEEDS EASILY🌶️ Using Seeding Square organizes your garden like a dream and is a time-saver for weeding – because perfect interval spacing of plants make weeds easy to spot, and maximized spacing leaves less room for weeds.
🍓THREE SIMPLE STEPS🥬 1.) Press the Square into the soil. 2.) Poke the colour-coded holes. 3.) Plant your seeds. That’s it…just don’t forget to water! Bonus: The 1” side walls of Seeding Square leave behind an impression in the soil, which creates a “garden grid” helping you line up the next press, and the next …yup, we thought of everything!
🌽BUILT TO LAST🍅 As fellow gardeners (and Canadians) we made sure our garden spacing tool kit is durable. So go ahead and jump on it, wash it, and hang it as a piece of art if you like! Crafted from premium grade ABS plastic – buy it once & you’ll be planting for years to come. We hope you’ll share your amazing garden with #seedingsquare #growyourfood & #plantingday
