Grow your own gifts

Get in on the grow your own craze this Christmas with a gift from Sankey, leading UK manufacturer of garden and horticultural products.

The Windowsill Gro Kit is a great Christmas present for children and adults who want to be more self-sufficient. Perfect for small plants, vegetables, bedding plants or growing herbs such as lemon balm, parsley and thyme indoors, the Windowsill Gro Kit reduces the waste that comes from buying bagged fresh herbs or settling for the taste of dried herbs - all without the need for a garden.

Made from strong but lightweight polypropylene material and designed to fit on a

windowsill, greenhouse shelf or other compact space, this unheated propagating kit includes a windowsill tray, three 22cm seed trays and three 22cm ventilated propagator covers to keep your delicate plants protected and the sliders enable humidity and temperature to be controlled.

Nottingham-based Sankey, who is 155 years old in 2010, has seen sales of its propagation products grow by more than 300 per cent as people look to live more self-sufficiently.

The Windowsill Gro Kit has a RRP of £12.99.
