Eco Please Bee Seated Seed Packet Place Setting and Wedding Favour

£1.40 Inc VAT




Description

This is a great “Please bee seated” seed packet wedding favour that also doubles as a place setting – so good for the bank account too!  This design is part of our Biodiversity range, which we hope will encourage people to grow wildflowers, not just because they are fab but also to help increase the biodiversity in their local area.

This seed packet is recycled, measures 9 x 12 cm and contains wildflower seeds that are perfect for bees (and other insects too!) – White Campion, Selfheal, Ox-eye Daisy and Lesser Knapweed.

How do I give you the guest names? Your guest’s name is within the wildflower wreath – please email over a list of names after ordering, quoting your order number.

There is a choice of recycled white or recycled manilla seed packets – please choose from the drop-down box above.

The wildflower seeds are in a glassine paper sachet (not foil and plastic) inside the seed packet and the 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!

How to Sow

Best sown in spring or autumn, find a bare patch of soil in a sunny spot and sprinkle on the seeds.  Press them gently into the soil and water.  Continue watering as required.  At the end of flowering, chop the plants to ground level and clear up the cuttings.  Alternatively, let the seeds drop first or collect them for more wildflowers next year!Seed sowing instructions
