Description
Fantastic colourful seed packet emblazoned with “Help the Bees, Sow the Seeds!” And that is precisely what you can do to help save our UK bees, who are in a dire predicament, through loss of wildflower habitat and the use of pesticides by agriculture.
The seed packet measures 9 x 12 cm and is made from manilla recycled paper. The seeds inside are perfect for attracting bees (and many other insects too!) – Selfheal, Lesser Knapweed, White Campion and Ox-eye Daisy.
As there is no personalisation on the seed packet, this means they can be used for many things – wedding favours, kids, party bag treats, promotional events, giveaways etc etc.
The reverse of the packet details the seeds inside and the sowing instructions. The seeds inside are in a glassine paper sachet (not foil and plastic) and are perfect for bees (and other insects too!) – Selfheal, White Campion, Ox-eye Daisy and Lesser Knapweed.
By giving these seed packets as a gift, you are helping the environment and our declining bee and butterfly populations – grow the love and Nature will love you back!
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.
Not using the seeds for a while? No problem! Just store them somewhere cool and dry out of direct sunlight.
About the Seeds
This is a mix of wildflower seeds that bees are particularly fond of! The seeds are UK species and have been grown in the UK by a reputable seed grower, who is inspected annually by DEFRA and whose seeds are fully traceable. You will get about a gram or so of seeds, enough to create a 1 metre square wildflower patch.
The seeds will grow into Selfheal, Ox-eye Daisy, Lesser Knapweed and White Campion. If not being sown imminently, just store them somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
