Easy Come Easy Grow

Moved.The old site now redirects to cratejoy.com. Its Cratejoy listing says the subscription has wrapped up and is archived; no exact closure date was found.

What's in the box: When it ran, each delivery held a selection of vegetable seed packets for home growing in Australian conditions.

Easy Come Easy Grow is no longer operating. Its old website now forwards to Cratejoy, a general subscription box marketplace, and its Cratejoy page says the subscription has wrapped up and is archived. The site does not say when it closed. When it was running, it was an Australian subscription for home vegetable gardeners. Instead of picking seeds off a rack, subscribers got a regular selection of vegetable seeds in the post, so there was always something new to sow. That made it a handy option for beginners who weren't sure what to plant, and for experienced growers who wanted some variety in the patch. Because it was based in Australia and sold to Australians, it also avoided a common problem with overseas seed boxes, which often can't be sent into the country under Australia's strict biosecurity rules. Now that the service has closed, there's nothing to order and no way to sign up. If you once subscribed, check your bank or card statements to make sure no recurring payment is still active. Gardeners who want something similar will need to look elsewhere, such as Australian seed companies, local nurseries or community seed swaps.
