Seed Starter Greenhouse Kit FAQs

When would they use it?

Most Canadian gardeners start seeds indoors in late winter, timed to their region's last frost. The gift lands in December; the fun starts within weeks.

Does it need special equipment?

A bright window is the usual minimum. Some growers add a clip-on grow light — a natural companion gift if you want to bundle.
