Description
This is a dual-purpose Please Bee Seated seed packet – it can be used as a place setting and as a wedding favour for guests to take home! It is also very eco-friendly and the wildflower seeds inside are great for butterflies, bees and all sorts of other bugs.
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.
How do I give you the guest names? Your guest’s name is within the flowers – please email over a list of names after ordering, quoting your order number.
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!
