Simply sow the provided seeds, water the box and watch your banana plant grow. When it’s bigger, plant the banana out in your garden. Dung is taken from UK zoos and safari parks then treated to remove germs and odours.

In the wild rhinos eat a range of plants and fruit. The seeds are then distributed in their dung, which provides an ideal nutrient-rich environment for plants to grow.
