Boo Swooplebat’s Night-Scented Stock & Buckwheat GrowTub

Grow a night-blooming, moth-friendly mini meadow with Boo Swooplebat — your nocturnal, swooshing, insect-patrolling Growimal friend. Perfect for kids, families, eco-heroes and anyone who loves bats, night-time wildlife and mess-free planting fun.

Meet Boo Swooplebat

Swish-swoosh hello! Boo Swooplebat comes alive when the sun goes down. A master of echolocation, Boo “sees” the world through sound — tiny clicks bounce off leaves, branches and insects, and Boo’s brain turns the echoes into a detailed night-map. Clever stuff, hey?!

Boo loves dusk, darkness and swooping through the garden for tasty insects. But to keep swooshing at top speed, Boo needs your help to grow night-time nectar plants that support moths, insects and other creatures bats rely on.

Each GrowTub includes a personal letter from Boo, inviting you to become a garden patroller and help replant the world — nocturnalicious and full of swooshes.

What is a GrowTub?

GrowTubs are character-themed growing kits designed to be fun, simple and completely zero-waste. Every component is reusable, recyclable or home-compostable, so once your plants are grown nothing harmful is left behind — no plastic pots, no rubbish, no waste.

Each GrowTub features a different Growimal with seeds specially chosen to support their habitat and the wildlife they depend on.

What’s Inside

• Seeds
• Peat-free soil (coir)
• Certified home-compostable inner pot
• Simple growing guide
• Character pot insert
• Celebration sticker

Everything is packed inside a beautifully illustrated cardboard GrowTub, ready to sow. Once your seeds are planted, you can reuse the tub in all sorts of creative ways.

What You’ll Grow: Night-Scented Stock & Buckwheat

Your Super Seed Pack contains:

• Night-scented stock — produces soft, pale flowers that open at dusk and release a sweet evening fragrance that moths adore.
• Buckwheat — grows quickly and produces nectar-rich blossoms that attract a whole variety of insects.

This duo is chosen so that one or both will germinate on a windowsill year-round, with buckwheat usually appearing first. Plant indoors any time of year, then move outdoors in spring or summer for the fullest scent and night-time activity.

Why These Plants Help Bats (and Night-Time Wildlife)

Night-scented stock and buckwheat make an irresistible night-garden buffet:

• Night-scented stock releases strong evening scents that guide moths to nectar.
• Buckwheat blossoms offer food for insects active at dusk and into the night.
• More insects mean a healthier dinner supply for bats — including Boo, your swooshing garden guardian.
• Daytime pollinators benefit too, creating a 24-hour bloom cycle that supports all kinds of wildlife.

Together, they turn your windowsill or garden into a delicious nighttime stop-off for moths and a hunting ground for hungry bats.

Simple Planting Steps

A Grow Guide comes in every GrowTub with clear, child-friendly instructions. Planting is designed for joy, discovery and circularity — with all parts compostable, recyclable or reusable.

1. Add water to the soil (coir) disc.
2. Sprinkle the night-scented stock and buckwheat seeds evenly and lightly cover with soil.
3. Wait while the seeds germinate — use the QR code to learn what’s happening under the soil.
4. Look for shoots after a few days to a week. Buckwheat often appears first; night-scented stock takes longer.
5. Keep the pot in a bright spot and turn occasionally for even growth.
6. When the plants outgrow the GrowTub, move them outside in spring or summer and enjoy the sweet scent at dusk.

Eco Impact

Night-blooming flowers and nectar-rich plants support nocturnal insects — essential food for bats and important pollinators in their own right.

This GrowTub helps children discover:

• Why moths matter
• Why bats rely on insects
• How scent, pollen and night-blooming flowers support whole ecosystems

A small patch of night-scented blooms can help restore biodiversity one windowsill at a time.

Why Bats Matter

Bats are brilliant pest-controllers — a single bat can eat thousands of insects in a night. They pollinate plants, help maintain food webs and indicate healthy ecosystems.

But bats struggle when:

• There are fewer insects
• Night-blooming flowers disappear
• Light pollution disrupts their feeding

By planting Boo’s night-time flower duo, children can support bats directly by supporting the insects they depend on.

How You Grow Matters

GrowTubs return to the soil with nothing wasted. Plastic pots, by contrast, can last 200–500 years and shed microplastics as they break down.

By choosing a compostable pot, you’re creating habitat — not waste. It’s a far better choice for bats, insects and the planet.

Ideal as a Gift

This GrowTub is a brilliant gift for children, wildlife-lovers, budding ecologists and anyone who enjoys the hidden magic of the night. Great for birthdays, nature clubs, after-school activities or for curious kids who love creatures that come out after dark.
