Tomato Trellis Candle · The Garden Collection

A sun-warmed soy candle that becomes a planter. Light it through the season, then sow the seeds inside.
 
Tomato Trellis smells like a tomato vine in late August — warm earth, crushed leaf, and the green sweetness of fruit ripening on the stem. It's the scent of a garden in its loudest month, captured in 7 ounces of hand-poured soy wax.
 
Inside the box, you'll find the candle, a matchbook of wooden matches to light it, and a second matchbook tucked alongside — filled with heirloom tomato seeds. When the wax is gone, wash the jar, fill it with soil, and plant what you smelled. The candle becomes a vessel. The scent becomes a plant.
 
This is the first release from The Garden Collection — a small line of candles paired with the seeds of the plant that inspired each scent.

When the candle is finished, wash the jar with warm soapy water, remove the wick tab, fill with potting soil, and sow seeds a quarter-inch deep. Place in a sunny window or transplant outdoors after the last frost. Tomatoes germinate in 7–14 days and prefer 6–8 hours of direct sun.
