Description
Our British bees are in a bad way, with numbers declining dramatically, so they need as much help from us as they can. This recycled Meant to Bee seed packet wedding favour contains wildflower seeds that will attract bees to your garden and is the perfect way to encourage your guests to do their bit to save our bees! The seeds can be sown directly on to the soil or are great for growing in pots too (if your guests have no garden).
The seed packet measures 9 x 12 cm and is made from quality recycled manilla paper, or recycled white paper – please make a selection above. The front is personalised with your guests’ names. The seeds are inside the packet in a glassine paper sachet, not a foil and plastic one. Sowing instructions and seed content are printed on the back.
Not getting married for a while? The seeds are viable for a few years so just store them somewhere cool and dry out of direct sunlight if they are not to be used for a while.
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 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.
Hopefully your guests will want to carry on helping Nature and grow more wildflowers in their gardens!
