We need trees now more than ever. Trees purify the air by absorbing and storing harmful greenhouse gases, and releasing oxygen back into our atmosphere. They gather precious rainwater while their roots filter out pollutants and prevent erosion and flooding. They are precious home, shelter, sustenance, and habitat to thousands of living things: plants, mosses, animals, and insects. They calm our souls and inspire our imaginations.
This grow kit is the perfect way to help reforest our future, starting with one seed at a time! Excellent for those experienced in planting and those of us (🙋🏻‍♀️) who need a little help flexing our green-ish thumbs. Note that for every kit purchased, a donation is made to plant a tree by both Modern Sprout and by Olivias Paper. That’s TWO donations per purchase!
Tree Kits feature carefully selected seed types that will thrive in most parts of the country.

Helpful Information:
- Getting Ready, Mr. DeMille:Â Sycamores seeds typically sprout within 10-24 days and grow slowly over a period of several years. As long as you get it off to a good start, Mother Nature will take care of all the hard work!
- Help Sycamores live their best life: Consider the time of year and your region’s climate before starting this kit. Trees thrive in temps between 45°F–75°F and with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight (an unobstructed south or west-facing window is best). Starting in Mar-Sept will provide longer days and thus optimal light. If starting during cooler months, consider supplementing with a grow light and a plant heating pad to stimulate seedlings to sprout.
- Sending it off into the wild: Prior to transplanting, harden off tree for 5–7 days by placing it outdoors in partial sun during the day, and bringing it indoors at night. To plant, gently bury the CowPot completely so that the top is even with the surface of the soil. Avoid breaking up or crushing the pot so the roots don’t get disturbed—the porous pot walls encourage root penetration. Keeping the CowPot intact eliminates the risk of transplant shock. Water area to help the tree settle. As a biodegradable planter, the CowPot will begin to break down within weeks of transplanting. As long as it is completely buried at planting, it should be almost completely decomposed by the end of the growing season. The rate of decomposition depends largely on moisture and bioactivity in your soil.
