£0.91

The Garland Small Seed Tray Black with Holes is a compact, reusable propagation tray designed for seed sowing, germination and raising young plants. Measuring 23 x 17 x 6cm, it combines a practical growing depth with integrated drainage holes, making it ideal for greenhouses, nurseries, windowsills and smaller propagation areas.

Manufactured in the UK by Garland Products, this traditional black seed tray provides a convenient growing area for gardeners and professional growers who need a smaller alternative to a standard seed tray. Its compact footprint makes it particularly useful when propagating small batches of plants, trialling different varieties or working with limited bench space.

The perforated base allows excess irrigation water to escape, helping growers maintain an appropriate balance of moisture and aeration within the growing medium. The tray can be used for direct seed sowing or for holding compatible small pots and propagation containers.

Manufactured using 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, the Garland Small Seed Tray is part of the manufacturer's premium propagation range and provides a reusable alternative to disposable growing containers.

  • Integrated drainage holes - allow excess water to escape from the growing medium.
  • Ideal for seed propagation - suitable for raising compatible vegetable, herb, flower and ornamental seedlings.
  • Reusable construction - designed for repeated propagation and general gardening applications.
  • 100% recycled plastic - manufactured using recycled material that is also recyclable.
  • Made in the UK - manufactured by Garland Products.

  • Versatile growing tray - suitable for direct sowing or organising compatible small pots.
  • Black finish - practical colour for greenhouse, nursery and garden propagation.

Compact seed propagation for smaller growing areas

The Garland Small Seed Tray is particularly useful where a full-sized seed tray would be unnecessarily large. Its 23 x 17cm footprint provides enough space for small batches of seedlings while remaining easy to position on greenhouse shelves, propagation benches and indoor growing areas.

The tray can be filled directly with a suitable seed or propagation compost. Once the surface has been prepared, seeds can be sown according to their individual requirements for depth, spacing, temperature and moisture.

As seedlings develop, they can be pricked out or transplanted into larger propagation cells or pots when appropriate. The correct timing will depend on the crop and the development of its root system.

For professional nurseries, the compact format is also useful for smaller propagation batches, variety trials and situations where different crops need to be kept separate during establishment.

Drainage holes for effective moisture management

The base of the Garland Small Seed Tray features multiple drainage holes, providing an escape route for excess irrigation water.

Good moisture management is particularly important during germination and early root development. Growing media should provide sufficient moisture for the crop while retaining the air spaces needed for healthy root function.

The drainage holes help prevent water from being trapped in the bottom of the tray. However, watering frequency should still be adjusted according to the growing medium, plant species, temperature and environmental conditions.

Important: This is the version with drainage holes. Water will pass through the base, so use a suitable solid collection tray underneath when protecting windowsills, benches or indoor surfaces.

Compatible with Garland propagator lids

The Garland Small Seed Tray can be combined with compatible Garland propagator lids to create a covered propagation environment.

Two suitable options are available:

Compatible propagator lid Product reference
Garland Small Budget Propagator Lid Garland G142 / GA0013
Garland Small High Dome Propagator Lid Garland G138 / GA0017

The Small Budget Lid provides a compact covered propagation option, while the Small High Dome Lid offers additional headroom for developing seedlings and young plants.

The high-dome lid features an adjustable dial ventilator, allowing growers to manage ventilation and humidity within the propagator. This can be particularly useful as seedlings develop and their environmental requirements change.

Compatible lids are available separately and are not included with this tray.

UK manufactured using recycled plastic

Garland Products manufactures its plastic growing products in the UK, with an emphasis on recycled and recyclable materials.

The Small Seed Tray Black with Holes is manufactured using 100% recycled plastic and is also recyclable, providing a practical option for growers seeking reusable propagation equipment.

The tray belongs to Garland's premium propagation range, which is designed to provide a more substantial, longer-lasting alternative to lightweight disposable propagation products.

As with any reusable growing container, trays should be cleaned between propagation cycles using an appropriate horticultural hygiene procedure to reduce the risk of transferring pests or plant diseases between crops.

Typical applications

Seed sowing Suitable for sowing small batches of vegetable, herb, flower and ornamental seeds.
Seedling production Provides a compact growing area for young plants before transplanting or potting on.
Greenhouse propagation Useful for organising smaller batches of plants on greenhouse shelves and propagation benches.
Indoor propagation Compact dimensions make it suitable for windowsills and indoor propagation areas when used with appropriate drainage protection.
Covered propagation Compatible with Garland Small Budget and Small High Dome Propagator Lids.
Small pot organisation Can be used to group compatible small pots while allowing irrigation water to drain through the base.

Small Seed Tray or Mini Garden Tray?

Garland also manufactures the Mini Garden Tray, which shares the same 23 x 17 x 6cm dimensions but has a solid base without drainage holes.

The Small Seed Tray with Holes is designed for free-draining propagation, allowing excess irrigation water to escape.

The Mini Garden Tray without Holes is better suited to collecting water, bottom watering compatible pots and protecting surfaces from irrigation run-off.

Choosing between the two depends on whether free drainage or water retention is required.
