"I'll point out the situation that you're in: I'm holding all the aces...you've got none! Good luck with that negotiation." Sara is a gem. No BS. Right to the point. No wasting time. Brilliant!

The funny thing is she reveals afterwards that she wanted that deal no matter what.
He started off so well too! Well done Sara for seeing the potential!
Sara's a legend. Got a good feeling they will do well with this business 👏🏻

Why didn't he approach gardening centres first? Then QVC, then supermarkets. Supermarkets only have a small gardening section and gardeners will mainly get all they need from gardening centres. It's not that he hasn't got a good product, he's just chosen the wrong place to sell it.

@@LuvableAF true true, although i still think gardening centres is a good option. Not everyone's an experienced gardener in all areas, it could be their first time using seeds. People often visit gcs with their family/children or friends, not all of them are gardeners. It's a good idea for kids. Either way, i hope he's successful.

@@LuvableAFThe business model seems fundamentally flawed from the get go, experienced gardeners won't want it and people who have never gardened before probably won't want it because they don't want to garden. The market is so niche, people who are looking to garden for the first time and don't want to do it the traditional, cheaper and more rewarding way. I mean the point of gardening is so you can plant that seed with your bare hands and nurture the plant... If the business were to ever work I could only see it working in a D2C model, based on a digital brand, possibly in primary schools but that's niche too.
Checked today, the company is now in liquidation :(
Something I've noticed about dragons den. They all bash the product then leave 1 dragon left to drain the life out of them and get an even bigger deal.

Have you tried garden centres or b&q and the like......not even asked or mentioned.....asda always springs to mind when I want garden items....
We need this product in my country
UPDATE: not a success story. The company went into voluntary liquidation in January 2024. At least it was not bankruptcy.

Asda getting rid of the last bits of stock... Those cardboard mini farms boxes were 75p in my local ASDA recently, piles of it.. and still not much interest in them.
I wonder why its new, same thing sells in Germany every spring and is pretty popular
Very clever guy!
No way it's outselling seen packets.
This idea was already done many years ago.

Sara - So what's the growth plan? 😅😅 no pun intended
We still love and respect Touker there is space for everyone!

See Deborah’s face when she knew it’s was environmental
this exists in the US for a very long time
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Only seasonal sale
One of the biggest mistakes he made was going all in with one supermarket,,also deffently should have approached garden centres,,,right move going for the license agreement it is the sort of gift idea for kids,,
Good luck mate
Guys on the irish version of this dragons are axed if they don't invest , how does tucca survive
This is not new it's been in Australia for over 20 years
Sara's face said it all that she totally got the product and understood Dan and the true potential - more than Dan himself. Dan understands the product but lacks the business side - pretty sure Sara will be all about execution. I liked this pitch so much that I made an in depth review of it over on my channel - so feel free to take a look and let me know what you think.
Sara such a lady Steve wonder would run away with her ❤
Does this business even still exist? Nothing posted on their fb page for a year and the website doesn't exist. The product was a typical lockdown novelty and is nothing special when compared with packets of seeds, on top of this he has made deals that straitjacket his business. Can't understand why Sara even made an offer and it seems it didn't go through. Price is another issue....£15 for a selection box, and again not available online currently.

Their product got pulled from all Asda locations. They also stopped selling on Amazon october 2023. It seems like the company is or has already been dissolved but I can't 100% confirm since they're trading under a different name.
Most of the time at least 3 of the drahons haven't a cluenor grasped the new business that is for today not yesterday and wait for the first dragon to back out then the next 2 or 3 follow the leader out the door. Demoralising all be it sometimes the person leaving cab take away one or two very crucial points to implement themselves if no one invested

Seeds in a packet are nothing new, For Sara is just another business under her wing at 20% which she knows about.
If people are going to invest in their gardening hobby then they'll probably buy seeds...Steven is totally right!
I absolutely love the idea. But what's the cost per plant for the consumer and how does that compare to traditional seed planting costs? Accessibility is critical.

I just feel the dragons are contradictive! If someone goes into retail they question it if someone doesn’t get into retail they question it! Don’t get me wrong I don’t believe they can invest into everything!! But I’ve seen the dragons bash one person for something which they then applaud others for the same reason!
