The first ever plantable children’s books made of handmade paper embedded with real basil seeds. Now you can read the story, plant the front and the back pages and then watch together how the plants gradually grow.

A fantastic idea for a book series which - not surprisingly - secured three offers on Dragon’s Den TV series and a deal with Deborah Meaden.
