Organic gardening in the kitchen? Wow, that’s not something I’d heard of before. I’ve gardened a bit in the past but I wouldn’t say I have much of a green thumb. Still though, I love fresh food and the idea of growing my own greens is particularly appealing. As it turns out I met someone through a friend who has a business helping people do exactly that www.truleafgarden.com
I met Almas Khalam over coffee to get a little bit more info about what she does, and I have to say I came away impressed. I’d have been a little overwhelmed with information overload if I was trying to start a big project but I’m actually starting small instead.
Truleaf Garden Consulting offers solutions for everyone, from seasoned gardeners to newbies like myself. Almas has a degree in botany and in education so she’s both knowledgeable and approachable. I had a look at her website and it’s very comprehensive. There’s no doubt she’s an expert in helping people set up a garden in an urban environment, no matter what space is available.
To get newbies like myself going Almas has put together a small microgreens starter kit. Her design, presentation and packaging skills are top notch. It’s an amazing promotional piece that’s fully functional as well.
Almas is about to do microgreen subscription box launch, with eco-friendly boxes that are easier for couriers and the mail to deliver. The DIY microgreen kit will remain the same, and subscribers will receive monthly seed refills and grow mats right to their door.
Inside the microgreens starter kit I received, I found several grow mats to germinate and then grow my veggies, a tray for watering, the seeds and some very easy to follow instructions. There are 8 things I’ll be growing: 2 kinds of peas, broccoli, kale, rapini, red and crimson clover and lastly, mixed radish. I can’t wait to get started!
If you’re looking for expertise in planning your gardening adventure don’t hesitate to reach out to Almas. She’s a delight to talk with and clearly knows her stuff. Truleaf’s email is hello@truleafgarden.com
