About our wildflower seed

Our seeds are sustainably hand harvested from the nature reserve at Hogchester and surrounding areas.  As such our seed is truly wild and not taken from agricultural monocultures.   Hand harvesting from individual wild plants ensures a diverse genetic mix of seeds that will often yield variations in color and other interesting phenotypes.   Sowing our seed is therefore a genuine act of biodiversity conservation.   Many of our seeds are complimentary in wildflower meadows establishment so check out the full range.   You can also trust that I will AUTOMATICALLY REFUND any excess postage on your order(s).
