At our roots

Welcome to Teeny Greeny!

I’m Alice, the grower and founder behind the brand.

My background as an urban farmer showed me how powerful fresh, homegrown food can be, especially when it’s simple, accessible, and grown with intention. Teeny Greeny was created to help people grow their own organic microgreens at home, even with limited space, time, or confidence.

Whether you’re passionate about flavour, interested in sustainable choices, or just want a more meaningful way to add freshness to your meals, you’re in the right place.

With Teeny Greeny, growing microgreens is straightforward and rewarding. No garden, no guesswork, just quality seeds, clear guidance, and the joy of harvesting something you grew yourself.

Together, let’s grow food that tastes good and does good.

Answers to our most FAQs

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the young seedlings of newly germinated, edible plants, such as broccoli, red cabbage and radish. These young shoots are up to nine times denser in nutrients, antioxidants and polyphenols, than their older, larger plants, making them not only very tasty but also bursting with health benefits. 

Why are Microgreens considered a Superfood?

Microgreens have high nutritional density, and are up to 40x more nutritiously dense than their mature versions. Microgreens contain many vitamins and minerals and are eaten for their health benefits.

How much do I need and how long will a bag last?

Each of our seed packs contains plenty of seeds for multiple grows. Depending on the variety and how you sow them, most packs will grow several trays of microgreens, with some varieties able to regrow for more than one harvest.

You don’t need specialist equipment to get started. Recycled containers, everyday compost, or growing mats all work well. If you prefer a ready-made setup, we also offer reusable bamboo trays and coir.

What makes Mircogreens so good for me?

All Microgreens contain Beta carotene from which the body makes vitamin A, Carotenoids – lutein and zeathanthin, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Calcium, Polyphenols (formerly called Antioxidants). In addition to the nutrients listed above, each Microgreen has a good source of other nutrients available in our health benefits section.

Can I grow Microgreens without a garden?

Microgreens are incredibly easy to grow, even for the least green-fingered of people! Whether you live in a studio apartment or a sprawling mansion, you only need a small space to place your kitchen windowsill garden. There’s no need to worry about seasons – these little wonders grow all year round!

I am a serial plant killer - how do I know this will work for me?

We've converted thousands of plant killers into successful growers! Sharing our knowledge from urban farming we have created inclusive fool proof instructions and also have videos available that you can access should you need extra guidance. We also have a private facebook group you will be invited to join.

Can I grow Microgreens all year round?

Yes! That is one of the many benefits of microgreens. They can be grown on your windowsill or any shelf inside your home all year round. 

What if my seeds don’t grow?

All our seeds are covered by our Happy Harvest Guarantee. If you have any issues, we’re here to help with advice and support.

How do I use Microgreens?

You can add them to salads, smoothies, sprinkle them over soups, stir them into stews and add them to stir-fries, curries, risottos, pasta bakes and casseroles – the sky’s the limit!

Do your seeds have an expiry date?

For best results, we recommend sowing your seeds soon after receiving them. However, if stored in a cool, dry place away from damp, seeds can remain viable for a long time.

Seeds are remarkably resilient. In fact, scientists have successfully germinated ancient seeds thousands of years old, showing just how long seeds can hold onto life when stored well.
