The doors are pushed out of the card, and behind each one there is a seed packet. The calendar itself is a high-quality decorated box in landscape format: a snow-covered garden shed, fir trees and a flowering garden inside a red ornamental frame, with the wording Saatgut-Adventskalender and the logo of the Saatgeschwister seed line.

At 32 cm wide, 17.5 cm high and 9 cm deep it fits on a sideboard, a kitchen shelf or a windowsill. A contents overview names all 24 varieties, so you know from the start what the calendar holds.

For garden lovers this is a present that reaches well beyond December: first the 24 doors, then the sowing. If you only have a balcony or a windowsill, the selection includes kitchen herbs and a cucumber suitable for balconies. If you tend a garden bed, 24 varieties of flowers, herbs, salad and vegetables give you plenty of choice.

The calendar is made in Germany, handcrafted and packed in German workshops for people with disabilities. As a gift it works for Advent, for Christmas and for hobby gardeners and seasoned growers alike, because above all it hands over the anticipation of the gardening season.

Hand the calendar over before 1 December so that no door is missed. While opening it, note down where you would like to sow each variety. That way the plan for the gardening year is ready before the calendar is empty.

It also goes down well in households without a garden, because the 24 varieties include kitchen herbs and a cucumber suitable for balconies. If there are more varieties than space, single packets are easy to share with neighbours or gardening friends.

What is behind the 24 doors? Each door holds one seed packet, 24 varieties in total, covering flowers, herbs, salad and vegetables.

Is the seed organic? A large part of the seed is EU organic certified, control body DE-ÖKO-006.

How big is the calendar? It measures 32 cm wide, 17.5 cm high and 9 cm deep and fits in landscape format on a windowsill or shelf.

Is the calendar suitable for garden beginners? Yes. The varieties suit every level of experience, from first-time sower to seasoned gardener, and germinate readily.
