Published: 24 November 2020 - Neil Mead

Mini Meadow Bamboo Pots – RRP £20

 

A lovely Christmas gift for anyone looking to create a wildlife paradise, no matter how much space they have, is the Mini Meadow Bamboo Pot kit. The kits consist of:

• A set of three biodegradable and compostable bamboo pots and saucers
• Peat-free coir discs
• 12 wildflower seed balls
• Full instructions on how to use the kit.

These super eco and wildlife friendly sets have everything needed to create a mini-meadow, including the soil. All of the cardboard packaging is made from 100% recycled card and is also fully compostable. The coir discs, made from natural coconut fibre, expand when water is added, turning into the perfect growing medium.

The sets are available in three varieties:

• Bee Mix (Foxglove, Birdsfoot trefoil, Red clover, Wild Marjoram, Viper's-Bugloss),
• Butterfly Mix (Forget-me-not, Red Campion, Yarrow, Purple Loosetrife, Musk Mallow)
• Garden Meadow (Cornflower, Oxeye Daisy, Cowslip, Common Toadflax, Musk Mallow, Meadow Cranesbill, Red Campion).

Bee Rescue Gift Set - RRP £15

 

This Christmas, Seedball has teamed up with the Devon based company, Beevive, to create a great gift box for bee lovers of all ages.

The Bee Rescue Set includes a Limited Edition Gold Bee Mix tin containing 20 seed balls packed with wildflowers that are best for helping bees. These seeds include Viper’s-Bugloss, Foxglove, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Red Clover, Wild Marjoram and a sprinkling of annuals including Cornflower and Chamomile.

The gift set is completed with a refillable glass container of sugar solution for helping to revive tired bees when you're out and about, which is held on a keyring in an elegant aluminium casing.

The set is sold in a beautiful steel blue box with delicate gold bee stamp.

Festive Set – RRP £19.99

 

This set of three festive wildflower tins – perfect for a Christmas gift or stocking filler!

The set includes Bee Merry in a new limited edition gold tinted tin (wildflowers that are especially great for bees), Let it Snow (all white flowering wildflowers) and Wonderland (wildflowers that are ideal for woodland or shady spots). See below for detailed mix info. You can also choose if you’d like the set to arrive in gift box (£19.99) or as loose tins without a gift box (£18.00).

Each tin contains 20 seed balls, and together the set will cover an area 3 square metres in a garden or 9-15 medium sized pots. Best scattered in the Spring or Autumn.

Seedball is a non-profit company on a massive mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. For more details, please visit https://seedball.co.uk
