CAT GRASS KITS!!!

That's right...That moment you've all been waiting for...CAT GRASS!
In honor of our sweet Rita who passed over the rainbow bridge last month, we have decided to offer Grow Your Own Cat Grass Kits at
Mary's Heirloom Seeds.

Each kit includes: 
coconut coir mat, non-gmo (soil-free growing medium)
Organic Hard Red Wheat, Non-GMO
Detailed Instructions

We will also GROW them for you in (downtown) Hollywood, Florida.  Orders must be placed 3-4 days prior to pick-up.

All of our cats love wheatgrass!  It gives them vital nutrients that they don't always get from cat food and encourages them not to eat our houseplants.

We plan to DONATE a portion of each kit sold from now until July 31st to a local non-profit, no-kill rescue.  Smitten with Kittens is a volunteer group of AMAZING people who rescue, foster and adopt out cats and kittens in Florida.  They work very hard and are always in need of supplies and volunteers.
Lucy loves homegrown grass!
We adopted baby Lucy from Smitten with Kittens last June and she is such a gentle and sweet addition to our family.  Rocky loves her and she loves him!

Grow Your Own Catgrass!!!

Wheatgrass is like salad for your cats (or dogs).  Believe it or not...Cats and other creatures need vegetable matter in their diet, just like people, and Wheat Grass supplies that along with great nutrition.  Plus, by growing your own grass you ensure a healthy, chemical-free snack.

Our NEW Wheat Grass Kits include: 
Coconut Coir ( non-gmo, soil-free growing medium)
Organic Hard Red Wheat, non-GMO
Detailed Instruction

Start by soaking your seeds for 12-24 hours.  
This is a must to boost your wheat grass growth. 


You'll notice after 12 hours that the seeds are a bit bulkier now that they've soaked up a bit of water.

When your seeds have finished their soak, wet the coconut coir (soil-free growing medium) thoroughly.

 Spread soaked seeds over the coconut coir.

I grew a large tray for our cats but just a small tray for this tutorial.
Day 1
To water the wheatgrass I use a spray bottle to mist the seeds/grass.  There should not be standing water but just enough to keep the coconut coir moist.
Day 2!  Growing fast
Depending on how fast your wheatgrass grows, it should be ready for consumption after day 3.  If you want longer grass just let it continue to grow.
Rita and Lucy LOVE to eat grass!
By the end of Day 3 this grass is ready!


I let our large tray grow out for about 5 days to get nice tall grass.  Rocky likes to bury his whole face in it.
If you're ready to start growing your own chemical-free, non-gmo wheatgrass check out our new kits at Mary's Heirloom Seeds.
