Wildflower specialist, Seedball, has launched Christmas gifts to help protect bees and encourage wildlife.
Seedball is a non-profit company on a mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them by making it easy for people to create wildlife havens, no matter what their available space is.
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:

- Butterfly Mix (Forget-me-not, Red Campion, Yarrow, Purple Loosetrife, Musk Mallow)
