At The Good Shit, we believe in the power of small batches. Why? Because we understand that gardening is a personal journey, and every garden is as unique as the individual cultivating it. Here's why we offer our carefully selected seeds in small batches:

1. Customized Variety:
Small batches allow you to curate a garden that reflects your preferences. Mix and match different varieties to create a personalized palette of colors, flavors, and textures.

2. Reduced Waste:
By offering seeds in smaller quantities, we aim to minimize waste. You get the exact number of seeds you need, reducing excess and ensuring that every seed has the opportunity to flourish. 

3. Accessibility for All Gardeners:
Not everyone has a vast garden space. Small batch seeds make gardening accessible to those with limited space, whether it's a balcony, a small backyard, or even a windowsill. Compact varieties and container-friendly options make urban gardening both feasible and delightful.

4. Economical Experimentation:
Small batches are a budget-friendly way to try new varieties and experiment with diverse plants.

5. Freshness Guaranteed:
Our small batches ensure that you receive seeds at their freshest. This is crucial for successful germination and robust plant growth, providing you with the best start for your garden.

6. Perfect for Beginners:
If you're new to gardening, starting with small batches allows you to learn and grow without feeling overwhelmed. It's a manageable and enjoyable way to embark on your gardening journey.

7. Save Your Own:
In offering small batches, we extend an invitation for you to save your own seeds from your successful harvests and build resilience for generations to come. 

Bonus: Our seeds come in a reusable tin! Bring it back to us to refill or use it to save your own.
