Save Bees Wildflower Seed Packet

£1.30 Inc VAT




Description

Save bees, sow wildflower seeds! Without bees, humanity would be in dire straits.  Bees are vital to the Earth’s ecosystem.  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.

The seed packet is recycled and contains wildflower seeds that are perfect for bees (and other insects too!) – White Campion, Selfheal, Ox-eye Daisy and Lesser Knapweed.    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 ready to sow the seeds yet?  No worries, they are viable for a few years and are easy to store by keeping them somewhere cool and dry out of direct sunlight.

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.

Want to use wildflower seeds to show your business cares for the environment? We can add your logo for no extra charge, please just email it over after you  have ordered, with your order number.  A PNG file is preferred, if possible.

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.
