The garden truffles are actually [seed balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superseed-snack-clusters) cleverly disguised as chocolate. The handcrafted balls of clay, organic compost, and seeds are an old-fashioned way to plant seeds. They’ll keep up to a couple of years, but the seeds are most viable if planted within a few months of receipt. Seed balls or seed bombs, by design, don’t need any special skill to plant. The compost gives the seeds nutrients and the clay holds the ball together and provides a barrier to insects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seed Bomb Gifts:** Opportunities for businesses to create innovative and sustainable gift ideas through seed bomb packaging. - **Eco-friendly Gardening:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to create eco-friendly gardening solutions through the use of seed bombs and other sustainable products. - **DIY Gardening Kits:** Opportunities for companies to create DIY gardening kits that include seed bombs, soil, and other necessary materials for those who want to start their own sustainable garden. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gift Industry:** Companies within the gift industry can incorporate seed bombs into their product line, as an innovative and sustainable gift idea. - **Gardening Industry:** The gardening industry can capitalize on the use of seed bombs and other sustainable gardening materials to create eco-friendly and innovative products. - **DIY Industry:** The DIY industry can create and market gardening kits with seed bombs, soil, and other necessary materials for consumers interested in creating their own sustainable gardens. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biodegradable Growing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sow-co-bonsai-tree.md) - [All-Natural Superfood Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bon-bon-candie.md) - [Hand-Painted Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painted-with-love-chocolate-bon-bons.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Bonbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sass-wine-filled-bonbons.md) - [Indulgent Plant-Based Ganaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ganache.md) - [Insect-Targeted Meatballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seedballs.md) - [Non-Dairy Ice Cream Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-bonbons.md) - [Festive Plantable Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-pencils.md) - [Snowball-Inspired Chocolate Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-and-baker.md)
