£0.71

The Garland Mini Seed Tray Black with Holes is a compact propagation tray designed for seed sowing, germination and raising small batches of seedlings. Measuring just 17 x 10 x 5cm, it provides a convenient solution for windowsills, greenhouse shelves, propagation benches and other growing areas where space is limited.

The mini format is particularly useful when only a small number of plants are required, allowing different crops or varieties to be propagated separately without using a full-sized seed tray. Despite its compact dimensions, the 5cm depth provides useful space for propagation compost and developing young roots.

Integrated drainage holes in the base allow excess irrigation water to escape rather than remaining trapped beneath the growing medium. The tray can be used independently for open propagation or combined with the compatible Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0016) to create a compact covered propagator.

Why choose the Garland Mini Seed Tray?

  • Compact 17 x 10cm footprint - ideal for windowsills, greenhouse shelves and smaller propagation areas.
  • 5cm growing depth - provides useful space for propagation compost and young root development.
  • Integrated drainage holes - allow excess irrigation water to escape through the base.
  • Ideal for small seed batches - avoid dedicating a full-sized tray to only a handful of plants.
  • Useful for variety separation - keep different crops, cultivars or sowing dates in individual trays.
  • Direct sowing - suitable for filling with an appropriate seed or propagation compost.
  • Compact handling - easy to position and move around smaller growing areas.
  • Covered propagation option - compatible with the Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid.
  • Black finish - practical for greenhouse, nursery and general garden propagation.

Ideal for small-scale seed propagation

Large seed trays are useful for substantial sowings, but they can be inefficient when only a few plants of a particular variety are required. The Garland Mini Seed Tray provides a much smaller growing area, making it easier to divide propagation work into manageable batches.

The tray can be filled directly with a suitable propagation medium and used for sowing compatible vegetable, herb, flower and ornamental seeds. Seeds should be sown at the appropriate depth and spacing for the species being grown.

Its compact format also makes it useful for germination trials and staggered sowing. Several mini trays can be used independently, allowing different varieties or sowing dates to be kept separate rather than sharing one larger tray.

Once seedlings have developed sufficiently, they can be pricked out or transplanted into larger cells or pots according to their individual growing requirements.

Perforated base for effective drainage

The Garland Mini Seed Tray features drainage holes in its base, allowing excess irrigation water to move out of the growing medium.

Effective moisture management is particularly important during germination and early plant development. Growing media need sufficient moisture to support germination and growth while retaining adequate air spaces around developing roots.

The perforated base provides an escape route for excess water, helping growers manage moisture within the tray. Watering frequency and volume should still be adjusted according to the crop, growing medium, temperature and surrounding growing conditions.

This is a perforated tray rather than a water-retaining tray. If it is being used on a windowsill, worktop or other surface that needs protection, place a suitable solid tray underneath to collect drainage water.

Compatible with the Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid

The Mini Seed Tray is compatible with the Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0016), allowing the tray to form the base of a compact covered propagator.

A covered propagator can help retain humidity around seeds and young seedlings during establishment. The high-dome format provides additional vertical space as seedlings begin to develop above the growing medium.

The tray can also be used without a lid when open propagation is preferred, giving growers the flexibility to adapt the setup to different crops and stages of plant development.

The Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid is available separately and is not included with this seed tray.

Useful for growers, nurseries & home propagation

The Mini Seed Tray is suitable for far more than simply saving windowsill space. Its compact dimensions make it useful wherever growers need to organise propagation into smaller individual batches.

Seed sowing Suitable for starting small quantities of compatible vegetable, herb, flower and ornamental seeds.
Windowsill propagation Compact dimensions make the tray easy to position in smaller indoor growing areas when suitable drainage protection is used.
Greenhouse propagation Useful for organising small batches of seedlings across greenhouse shelving and propagation benches.
Variety trials Different varieties can be kept in separate mini trays for easier identification and management.
Staggered sowing Useful for keeping successive sowing dates separate rather than combining them in a larger tray.
Covered propagation Compatible with the Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0016), available separately.

Mini, Small or Standard Garland Seed Tray?

Choosing the appropriate tray size allows growers to match the amount of growing medium and bench space used to the number of plants being propagated.

Garland tray Dimensions Typical use
Mini Seed Tray 17 x 10 x 5cm Small batches, variety trials and compact propagation areas
Small Seed Tray 23 x 17 x 6cm Small to medium propagation batches
Standard Seed Tray 37.5 x 23 x 6cm General seed sowing and larger propagation batches

The Mini Seed Tray is the most compact option of these three sizes and is particularly useful where growing space is limited or where only a small number of seeds need to be started.

Garland Mini Seed Tray Black with Holes FAQs

What size is the Garland Mini Seed Tray?

The tray measures 17cm long x 10cm wide x 5cm high, making it a particularly compact option for small propagation batches.

Does the Garland Mini Seed Tray have drainage holes?

Yes. The base has integrated drainage holes that allow excess irrigation water to escape from the growing medium.

Can seeds be sown directly into the Mini Seed Tray?

Yes. The tray can be filled with a suitable seed or propagation compost and used for direct sowing. Follow the appropriate sowing depth, spacing and growing conditions for the chosen crop.

Why use a mini seed tray instead of a standard tray?

A mini tray is useful when only a small quantity of seeds is required. It can also help keep different varieties or sowing dates separate while using less bench or windowsill space.

Can I use the tray on a windowsill?

Yes. Its compact dimensions make it particularly suitable for windowsill propagation. Because the tray has drainage holes, use a suitable solid tray underneath to protect the surface from water.

Which propagator lid fits the Garland Mini Seed Tray?

The tray is compatible with the Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0016).

Is the propagator lid included?

No. This product is the black Mini Seed Tray with drainage holes. The compatible Garland Mini High Dome Propagator Lid is available separately.

Can the tray be used without a propagator lid?

Yes. It can be used as a conventional open seed tray or combined with the compatible lid when a covered propagation environment is required.

Is this tray suitable for professional propagation?

Yes. The compact format is useful for small nursery batches, germination trials, different varieties and other situations where separating propagation into smaller groups is beneficial.

How many Garland Mini Seed Trays are in an outer case?

The outer case quantity is 50 trays.
