In 2011 we had a tiny idea… What if growing wildflowers could be simple enough for everyone? Our gardens cover more land than all of the UK’s national nature reserves combined — imagine the impact if we filled them with native wildflowers. 🐝🌼 So we got to work. Two scientists in a small flat, mixing clay and seeds, testing species, going to shows, and slowly building something we believed in with our whole hearts. Seedball wasn’t a trend. It wasn’t a product built for a quick sale. It was a movement from day one — a way to give nature back a little of what it’s lost! We grew slowly, organically you might say :-) One conversation, one customer, one seedball at a time! And today, thanks to all of you, we even protect our own nature reserve through our CIC, Project Maya. 🌱💛 Thank you for being part of this wildflower revolution! #Seedball #Wildflowers #RewildYourGarden #GrowNative #UKGardening #NatureLovers #EcoGarden #WildflowerMeadow #BeeFriendly #Rewilding #FromSeedToBloom

Hello we’re Emily & Ana, the creators of Seedball – we want to fill the world with wildflowers and we’re starting with your garden! We’re on a mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. We believe that if we can all better use whatever space we have available to us (whether a back garden, balcony, window box, little patio etc) we can together have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems. The last 50 years has been witness to huge declines in pollinators and other garden wildlife, but together we can really really do something to reverse this. For us we want Seedball to inspire a wildlife gardening revolution while providing a very handy way of going about it!

But with modern fencing, their world is shrinking and our gardens have become islands. 🏝️ Connect your neighborhood with a Seedball Hedgehog Highway.

Here at Seedball we know that pottering about in the garden or tending to plants can really help with anxiety and improve mood. 🌸🙂 Being outdoors in contact with nature can have a calming effect, reducing stress levels too. Listening to the birds, watching a bee collecting nectar, watering your flower pots are all super positive things to do. 🦋😊 Gardening for wildlife, in whatever space you have - front garden, backyard, balcony windowbox or patio pots, can have a hugely beneficial impact on the local ecosystems and your well-being. 🐝😁 Try growing some wildflowers for butterflies or bees or putting in some wildlife friendly habitats such as a bird bath an insect hotel and your daily dose of positivity will be right there at your fingertips. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Create a wildflower wonderland 🌸🥰 Seedballs have been created by Conservation Scientists to make growing wildflowers from seed simpler. Seedballs are their own mini ecosystem, protecting seed from birds, ants and slugs and giving them the nutrition they need to have a head start. With Seedballs you dont have to have any gardening expertise. There is no need to propagate the seed, or even plant it! Just pop on top of soil, water and watch grow! Each Seedball has up to 100 seeds, a mixture of species suited to different conditions. Seedballs are made from a unique blend of seed, clay (to protect the seed from ants, mice, birds etc.) peat-free compost (to give seeds a boost) and chilli powder (an extra predator deterrent). This ancient technique of seed propagation provides all the nutrition and protection that a seed requires for its early growth – which is particularly useful for growing wildflowers, as their seeds often takes longer to germinate and grow than other garden plants. Find Seedballs in our online shop and in stockists countrywide. #seedball #wildflowera #wonderful
