About Growbar
Growbars are easy to grow, exciting seed collections, nestled in fertile coir bars, carefully created and packaged by a small team in South London.
Growbars are 100% eco-friendly. The card packaging can be widely recycled, the film wrap is made from biodegradable sugar cane, and coir is a sustainable alternative to peat that’s made with coconut fibres.

Please note, if you live outside of the UK your local customs authorities may have restrictions on the importation of seeds. To avoid any potential disappointment, we strongly recommend checking with your local customs office before placing your order.
