Wait Like A Seed

We're Tim and Derylin, real gardeners from the Ozarks in Missouri. Every design starts with a real garden story from our community of 7,500+ gardeners. We print each shirt only when you order it, and every shirt plants a mangrove tree on Kenya's coast.

Yes, 100% real. Every shirt plants one mangrove on Kenya's coast. Local families in Kilifi plant them with EarthLungs, through our tree partner Sprout, and Veritree checks that they grow. Acre for acre, mangroves store up to 4x more carbon than most tropical forests.

Yes. Our Softstyle Tee is a soft, lightweight ring-spun cotton tee that feels broken in from day one and gets softer with every wash. Our Comfort Colors Tee is a heavier, garment-dyed cotton tee in soft vintage colors with a relaxed fit. Our long sleeves are a heavier cotton for cool mornings, our sweatshirts and hoodies are a cozy cotton-poly fleece, and our tanks come in racerback (Next Level 1533) and classic (Bella+Canvas 3480).

You're covered by our 99-day love it guarantee. Not right? Email support@inspiredgardenlife.com and we'll make it right. If you don't love it, we'll refund every penny and you keep the shirt. No return shipping needed.

All our shirts are a unisex fit. The Softstyle Tee, long sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies run true to size; the Comfort Colors Tee is a little roomier and relaxed. Want a looser look? Go one size up. How It Fits has the size chart for every style and shows our models in fitted and oversized looks. If the fit isn't right, our 99-day love it guarantee has you covered.

Every shirt is printed just for you in 2-3 business days, then usually takes 3-5 business days in the US mail. We email your tracking as soon as it ships. Outside the US, allow a little longer.

Each holiday season, the order-by date shows on every product page and in your cart: about two weeks before Christmas for the US, and about a week earlier outside the US.

We can't guarantee arrival, because some things are outside our control, like weather and carrier delays. But every year we do all we can to help Santa get your gifts there on time. If anything goes wrong, we're here with other ideas, like an e-gift card that arrives by email in minutes. We know how much a gift means.
