Hi. My name is Jen.
I invented Seeding Square.
-
Originally, I was a school teacher. One day when teaching my students how plants grow, one was certain that carrots come from the store, not the ground. It dialed me into a disconnect in understanding where our food comes from.
-
Years later, my husband and I wanted to give our kids the fun of growing vegetables - something we both enjoyed growing up. So, we all rolled up our sleeves and put in our first vegetable garden.
-
Our memories of youthful garden raids were epic - those crunchy carrots, crisp peas, and deliciously juicy strawberries! It turns out, the actual gardeners had been our parents. As gardening beginners, we were in for a few surprises.
-
Reality struck after the little green shoots popped up: it was hard to tell the weeds from the seedlings. That first garden was not the harvesting success we had dreamed of.
-
Next, we researched gardening approaches to optimize our space for a bigger harvest and to make weed identification easier. We discovered Square Foot Gardening, which didn’t match our garden setup.
-
We didn’t have the raised garden beds for traditional Square Foot Gardening, and our garden plot had an unusual shape - making it impossible to install the square-foot grids required by SFG.
-
Instead, we applied the textbook knowledge of Square Foot Gardening to make our seed-spacing templates. Adding sidewalls removed the need for the grids altogether - as the impressions left in the soil became the grid!
-
Those first jigs worked so well that friends, family & neighbours asked to borrow our "magical" squares for their gardens. Then our next ah-ha moment happened…we colour-coded the numerous jigs into one master template.
-
That colour-coding made Seeding Square the perfect tool for introducing kids to gardening. They love it! (We are now in school garden programs around the world.)
-
It started as a homemade tool to simplify our planting process and help us get more food from our tiny garden. But it worked so well that we had to share our creation with the world.
-
What an incredible journey it's been - helping people of all ages and experience levels, to grow their vegetables with success - while making it fun and easy to do.
-
There are so many reasons to plant a vegetable garden: the thrill of eating your home-grown harvest, exercise, and fresh air, a family hobby (or me-time), or even as a way to lighten the grocery bill.
-
Whatever your reason(s) may be, I hope you will join Team Seeding Square on planting day…and remember: when you get more vegetables than you know what to do with – sharing is caring.
Happy planting! ~Jen

Grow food and make memories

Super durable
We made Seeding Square with durability in mind. Part of our tradeshow demonstration is to jump on it!
Line it up and stamp it out
When you press the Square into the soil, a square-foot impression is left behind. Letting you plot out the entire garden with ease. No space wasted!
Fresh is best
Home-grown tastes the best, and with you being in charge of your garden - you can say goodbye to nasty pesticides!
Save Money. A lot of Money.
The cost of produce is only going up, so let's do some garden math:
As of this posting, a Seeding Square costs about the same as 4 heads of lettuce.
4 lettuces are grown in one square foot, using Seeding Square.
So, if you have 2 or more square feet for a garden, then Seeding Square saves you money.
Schools and Seeding Square
Seeding Square is used in over 500 schools across North America. If your child's school has a garden program, we hope Seeding Square will be included. Children who grow vegetables are more likely to eat them!
Seeding Square tool kit includes:
- Colour-Coded Seeding Template (one square foot)
- Planting Guide/Instructions (double-sided, water resistant)
- Magnetized Dibber with depth markings and Seed-Spoon
- Funnel that clips onto the back of the template
Reviews with images
Handy tool; very pleased
Great tool for organizing and seeding garden beds; the seeding spacing guide that comes with it is a great reference and seed scooper tool really helps with dropping in smaller seeds.Make sure your garden bed is as level as you can get before trying to imprint the square.I guess if I was picking at straws - I wish the seed scooper tool had both metric/imperial measurement markings for when you press your seeds into the soil. Believe it only has 1/2/3 + 4” marks.
