Give a gift card that includes native Irish seeds that help our bees and other pollinators - enough to plant up to 1.5 square metres (or several pots) of beautiful wildflowers! Quick and easy to establish with a long flowering period from 8 weeks after sowing up until the first frosts of winter. Suitable for all soil types.  We need wild bees to pollinate our food. But a third of Ireland's 99 wild bee species are at risk of extinction...luckily, we can all help. Green fields and manicured lawns are like a barren desert for bees...they need flowers, including hedge and tree flowers. We can help by: Mowing grass less often - the whole lawn, or a pollinator strip down the side - until Sept (then mow and remove the cuttings); Allowing hedgerows to flower; Less / no pesticides; Plant pollinator-friendly plants / trees (see www.pollinators.ie for a list; this Bee planting kit and our plantable cards include many of them). The All Ireland Pollinator Plan doesn't encourage seed bombs, interestingly. Just don't mow and let nature do her thing.   What it contains A7-size greeting card as shown and a compostable bag containing a blend of 100% native Irish cornfield annual wildflower seeds, enough to plant 1.5 square meters of soil   Feel great about where it comes from Raw materials from Europe?
