My boss has told me to get hold of little plants growing in egg shells?

Question

He says they're called egg plants, they're planted in empty egg shells (very possibly synthetic???) you break the top off and put them in water and they grow. I'm supposed to gethold of them as table decorations for mothers day, anyone heard of them & know which website to get them from.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick guys, I've just found them on google, you can get ones with beans sprouts with messages or the ones I'm supposed to be looking for which are ceramic and grow petunias and crysanthemums. Check it out, I think this is cool. http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/pages/mia.asp?recordid=4508864&cid=880&afid=88888

as for bulk ordering, you would have contact the shop but i dont see why they wouldnt.

Answer 2

I garden. I have planted seedlings in egg shells filled with a small amount of soil and then transferred them to the garden. It's a neat little natural thing to do.

I don't know anywhere you can buy them already done for you. I've never even seen any nurseries do this for any reason, holiday or not.

If this were my assignment, I'd go back to the boss and ask for more details. Good luck! (bosses sure are imposing at times.)

Answer 3

At Target in the toy department they have eggshells that sprout and they come with little messages...there in little cans. I'm not sure if that's the same thing. I can't remember what they are called.

Answer 4

This is probably not what you had in mind at all, seeing as these are actually instructions to make them ... but these are definately egg plants;-)
