What is glassine paper? 

Glassine paper is an eco-friendly and plastic-free alternative to mass-produced heat-sealed plastic and foil/paper sachets.  Unlike those sachets glassine paper can be recycled and is biodegradable.  It is also resistant to moisture and will keep the seeds dry in the main packet.

About Forget-me-nots

• Forget-me-nots are best sown in the Autumn so that they flower the following spring
• They produce masses of tiny, delicate blue flowers with yellow centres
• The plant’s Latin name – myosotis – derives from the Latin for mouse ear, which the leaves tend to resemble
• Forget-me-nots have been around since the late 1300’s when Henry IV took the plant as his emblem.  It was known as Scorpion Grass, according to the herbalist Gerard (1633),  because its flowerhead was thought to resemble a scorpion’s tail.  Therefore it was also believed to cure the sting of a scorpion, and snake and dog bites.
•  In German folklore, a knight picked Forget-me-not for his love as they walked by a river.  He tripped and fell in but before he drowned he threw his love the flowers and cried  “Forget me not!”
• In days of old, blacksmiths kept a bunch of Forget-me-nots in their forge to protect horses from injury.
• In the language of flowers, Forget-me-nots are symbolic of true love.

Give friends and family a lovely, meaningful way to remember a dear friend or loved one.
