WHY OUR SEED PACKETS?

Our UK wildflower meadows have declined by 97% since the 1930’s. Wildflower meadows provide essential shelter and food for pollinators and insects. By planting Pollenize seed packets you will be increasing these rich habitats and directly helping to enhance biodiversity.

This unique seed packet recipe has been chosen to benefit the most number of pollinator species over the longest flowering period to ensure there is plenty of pollen and nectar as well as associated insects to promote complex healthy habitats and food webs.

Once planted you can take part in citizen science by logging your sowing coordinates to our interactive rewilding map.

WHAT’S IN OUR NEW SEED PACKET?

Our unique seed packet recipe has been chosen to benefit the most number of pollinator species (Bees, Butterflies & Hoverflies) over the longest flowering period to ensure there is plenty of pollen and nectar as well as associated insects to promote complex healthy habitats and food webs.

• 34 Native wildflower species, carefully selected from reputable and traceable sources in the U.K

• 5 different species of specialist grass seed to ensure healthy food webs can be created.

• Each packet covers approx 1m².

• Pollenize has developed citizen science seed packets informed by the data analysis of the following databases on the data.gov.uk website:

  • Plant-pollinator interactions database for construction of potential networks (all known pollinator-plant interactions on mainland GB)

  • Insect species richness for each plant species and insect-plant interactions from the Database of Insects and their Food Plants [DBIF] (over 60,000 insect- plant interactions with native plants)

• We work work closely with local and artisan producers to ensure there is traceability and accountability to our product.

• We use the UK’s most environmentally-friendly printing company, FSC® certified, ISO 14001:2015 certificate and one of only a handful of Carbon balanced printers

• All seed packets are printed 4/0 colours using vegetable based inks on 150gsm.

• All seed packets are printed revive silk 100% recycled

PLEASE NOTE:
Our seed packets are designed for small patches of land to create mini meadows. If you are looking for a large-scale project, we highly recommend that you seek professional and consultative advice on meadow creation/management. The best place for this is to visit Moor Meadows page on a ‘Beginners Guide’ to meadow creation. Here you will find links and sources to these services.
