Designed and built right here at home, our seed trays are made for Canadian gardeners, by Canadian gardeners. We kept quality and sustainability at the core—so you can feel good knowing your tools are supporting local and built to last.
No weird coatings. No harmful chemicals. Every tray is BPA-free and UV-treated—safe for seedlings you’ll eventually eat, and tough enough to handle sun, water, and repeat use season after season.
The oversized bottom openings let extra water flow right out and keep the soil from getting soggy - so roots get just the right amount of moisture, and your plants grow strong without the risk of rot or damping off.
Every cell features air-pruning side slits that guide roots downward and outward—preventing root circling, promoting healthier development, and setting your plants up for long-term success from the moment they sprout.
We didn’t just test these—we stood and jumped on them. Literally. These trays are heavy-duty and made to last, whether you're starting a few herbs or running trays full of seedlings to the greenhouse and back. Season after season, they will hold up.
Available in five earthy, complementary shades—Terracotta, Driftwood, Riverstone, Wild Sage, and Slate Grey—our trays make it easy to colour-code your plants and coordinate with your Sproutbox raised beds. It’s form and function.

I love my sproutbox garden, it has been a great addition to my back yard. Last spring I began to do my seeds using your seeding kit and I realy liked them, they are really strong and you can move them without the fear of breaking the trays and having to collect the plants on the floor.
Inspired by Charles Dowding's cell trays, I went on the hunt to find similar, affordable and Canadian made trays. When I saw Sproutbox's seed cell trays, I recognized that they were similar to those used by Charles Dowding - large bottom hole, not too big, etc. I took the chance to purchase, hopeful that they would match my expectations. The cell trays are the sturdy, easy to use and fit well into the shallow base trays. The open hole in the bottom and the air pruning side slits make it extremely easy with minimal handling, to remove the seedling intact and transplant it into a prepared hole. I highly recommend using these cell trays to give your seeds/seedlings a headstart.
so well made and easy to use, clean up well. will never go back to the flimsy plastic version. colours help with keeping track of the seed in each container
Great for starting my snapdragon seeds!
These work great for encouraging good root development. The design makes it easy to get the seedlings out for planting.
These are the best seed trays I've ever used. My starts are so much healthier.
Very good, very sturdy.

Love the look of this, and getting my indoor seed starting ready with these has been super easy.

Seed starting made easy! Finally I had success with starting leeks from seeds. Transplanting is much easier with the big opening in the bottom. They are durable and love that they can be cleaned and sterilized in the dishwasher.

I love these seed-starting trays! They’re honestly everything you need to start your seedling journey. 🌱 I’m so happy I switched from the flimsy plastic trays I used before. These make transplanting seedlings so much easier, and I love that they’re a more sustainable option with so much less waste. Once you have the number of trays you need, you’re set for years, no more buying and throwing away plastic trays every season. Such a worthwhile investment if you love starting your garden from seed!

The seed starting kit was a worthwhile investment! The cell packs are sturdy and cleaned up wonderfully in the dishwasher. Thanks Sproutbox!

I absolutely love Sproutbox's Seed Starting kits. They are durable (dishwasher friendly too), easy to use and clean. They are also very easy to transplant from with its great design. I wouldn't use anything else.

Excellent product!

The four cell starter set is well made. They will last a life time. Plants are easy to remove using the opening at the bottom. These are much better than the cheap starter trays. They are also better than the silicone trays that gets stained and mouldy over time.

I ordered too late for my spring veg sprouting but just pulled this out to do a last round of peas and a wave of cauliflower. They are so sturdy! Planted 16 cauliflower and 16 pease all jn one tray. I only have a very small zipper greenhouse so space is important!
Love the sturdy nature of these seedling cell pots and the large opening at the bottom to release the seedling. I tried rooting petunia clippings and being able to see the roots forming is an added bonus of the cell pot side slits. These will come in handy for years.

Great product and great Team. Initially, the order was received missing parts. Reached out to the Team and they fixed it immediately and sent me the missing parts. Thank you and I look forward to buying more from you in the future.

I got my starter kit late in the season, so have not used it yet, but I am impressed with the quality and look forward to putting my kit to use.

I really enjoy the Sproutbox seed starting tray lineup. I have had previous seed trays from other companies like Winstrip, Bootstrap Farmer and Hoss Tools. I am excited to have an actual Canadian product that is built to last from Canada. I always wanted to support small businesses in Canada, and now I can.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your extensive video review! We do have some new seed starter products coming out towards the end of this year. It’s customers like you that make what we do so rewarding—thank you! – The Sproutbox Garden Team
These are very well made and fit perfectly on the base tray. I did not order them in time to use this year so cannot comment on their functionality but have no reason to be doubtful.
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your feedback! – The Sproutbox Garden Team
Very sturdy, it should last for many years and fits perfect with the starter pots.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for your review! – The Sproutbox Garden Team

I love that the trays are shallow and are made of quality plastic. Also bought some pots to go with the trays haven't used them yet they are for next years seedlings, but also great quality.
Store owner replied: Your support truly means everything to us! Thank you for the lovely review. -Sproutbox Garden Team
I was a little hesitant to purchase these because I have used little Solo cups (3 oz) for years. However these sproutbox seed starters are way better. They take up less room and when I have transplanted seedlings from them the roots look really good. Plus the plastic used for the Sproutbox appears to be waaaaay more durable. I am a convert
Store owner replied: We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind review. Happy gardening! – The Sproutbox Garden Team
I have bought several of these for our seedlings . They are deep enough that I know I am bottom watering and it is working . I have used cookie sheets , black plastic trays that come in those kits but these I find work the best for us , once you are done with them you wash them off and store away for next time. I also have bought other ITEMs from them and am not disappointed at all. If you want quality this is the company . Love love love them.

I love these trays. They are so much heavier than others on the market. No bending, no spills. They’re great!

Love love love

Works great. Perfect size for growing on a window sill!
Store owner replied: We are so glad these are working great for you, thank you for the review!- The Sproutbox Team
Excellent construction; great colours. 2nd time I’ve purchased these + tray because I wanted more!
I bought enough 6 cell starter packs to start 216 lettuce plants for our local food bank gardening team, and I like them so much, I bought four sets of the 4 cell stater packs to use on my tomatoes. These are a great, sturdy cell set, with nice large bottom holes to make pushing transplants out very easily and quickly. A great product, and very nice to be able to shop Canadian.
Store owner replied: Thank you for supporting local to Canada 🌱 So glad they’re working well for your and making transplanting easier 🌿- The Sproutbox Team
Great quality! So happy with this purchase.
I reordered this product because I was happy with the first pack I had used.
Very sturdy! A nice detail is the inclusion of ridges on the sides for fingers to comfortably fit while carrying the tray. Impressive ‘small but mighty’ detail.
