innocent are looking for 20 MNers and their DC’s to take part in their Big Grow Campaign and grow their own vegetables at home.

Here’s what innocent have to say: “We want to encourage kids to grow their own veg to help teach them where their food comes from. We believe that by growing it themselves, kids are much more likely to eat (and enjoy eating) fruit and veg and continue with healthy eating habits to last a lifetime”

Each selected tester will receive a box containing:

  • a pack of pea seeds
  • a box of innocent kids smoothies
  • a garden label
  • a compost disc
  • a growing guide

Everyone who takes part will be required to test out the product with your DC and then leave two lots of feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. We’d also love to see before, during and after photos of your peas growing.

The kits will be sent out from 5th April onwards. It takes a few weeks to grow your peas to the point where you can harvest the pea shoots to add them to salads or sandwiches, so please only apply if you’re around to see through the growing process for the following few weeks or so.

Everyone who leaves the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one tester will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

If you would like to take part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

@SillyMoomin I have received mine too and it has someone else's name and address on the top too, but my own on the UKMAIL barcode bit. A little unnerving that my whole name and address is out there on someone else's box, but the idea was nice. Nice and personal. (Ok wrong person lol)

We've planted our peas. We are very excited to watch them hopefully grow!

Butteredparsn1ps · 06/04/2018 20:36

Wev’e got W’s Parcel Grin I wonder who has ours?

Anyway, one lot planted, hoping to do one a day for 6 days if I can find extra compost, then we’ll have a few days worth of pea shoots.

DD very happy so far !

Hello @sillymoomin and @MacNCheese87, thanks for letting us know- we're really sorry about this. The teams involved in this campaign are not in over the weekend but we're working to find out exactly what's happened here and will get back to you with more details ASAP on Monday. @ButteredParsn1ps, have you had the same problem?

Thanks for your patience Flowers

SillyMoomin · 07/04/2018 12:24

Thanks @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

Butteredparsn1ps · 07/04/2018 13:08

Mac and Cheese, yes our parcel was similar. The correct details on the bar code label and the other address on the top.

I’ve let Becky know and destroyed the other address label.

IggyAce · 07/04/2018 13:14

Yup same happened with my parcel courier barcode label my name and address but handwritten label someone elses details.

PinotAndPlaydough · 07/04/2018 22:06

Same happened to me, I got a parcel meant for a sian

bec4everuk1 · 09/04/2018 15:43

Same happened to me with regards to the wrong address on my box but correct on the side. Smoothies have gone down really well with my little ones so will be buying some more. We've purchased some hanging baskets to use the wool fibres in the bottom of and we're very much looking forward to planting our peas. Will take some pictures :) x

Hi Everyone

Apologies about the mix up with the addresses, we are currently awaiting an official statement from innocent. We will update you as soon as we hear anything.

We hope your pea growing is going well!

Best

Well done! We might have a couple of hairs, but I'm not too sure. Need actual sun methinks.

EllieMumsnet · 11/04/2018 14:59

Hi MNers

innocent have got back to us with the following statement:

"We’re so sorry for the mix up - the guys we use to send out drinks attached the right labels to the wrong boxes. We'd love to send you a box of drinks by way of an apology. We'll make sure we got the right labels on the right boxes this time Blush. We will also ensure that both your names addresses are deleted from both our database and the company we used to send out the products database.

Yours, tail between legs,

innocent"

Many Thanks
MNHQ

Fair play Innocent, they sound apologetic enough and have replied fairly quickly.

(Forgiven)

Waves to whoever recieved my parcel Grin
