Product Review: All-In-One Garden

Last fall while shopping for spring blooming bulbs, I found a product called the All-In-One Garden. It looked like an easy and inexpensive way to add several bulbs to the garden. So I thought what the heck and decided to give it a try.

All-In-One Garden just before planting

This "pre-planted garden" came in a plantable pot with four different types of bulbs planted in soil.


All you have to do is dig a hole and drop it in.


There were a few different ones to choose from,
I chose the one that contained Dutch Crocus, Glory of the Snow, Daffodils and Tulips.


This spring, I was happy to see that all the bulbs actually bloomed.

Glory of the snow and Dutch Crocus

It started with the crocus and Glory of the Snow.

Then came the tulips, and last the daffodils.








The show lasted several weeks and it was nice they all bloomed at different times.

Tulips


The tulips were fantastic and definitely my favorite part!

The Daffodils were pretty nice too, but the other blooms were sparse.

The crocus didn't do much this year, I think there was one or two blooms... hopefully next year will be better.



One thing I didn't like is how crammed together the bulbs are. I feel like I'll need to divide them soon.

I also wasn't crazy about the plantable pot, but I'm not a huge fan of those in general. This one just seemed too bulky.

Overall, if I had a rating scale, I would give this product a 4 out of 5. I wouldn't seek it out, but if I see them again this fall, I might just pick up another one.

I love getting comments, they make my day. I read and respond to all of them. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave one!
  1. Flowers look good! I too felt that container is kinda small for so many bulbs to be together!

  2. Hi RandomGardener - Yah, the more I think about it, I might just divide the bulbs this fall. I like the mix of flowers though so I will keep that look, but just try to spread it out a bit more.
