Created by conservation scientists, the not for profit rewilding company, Seedball is known for their wildflower seeds encased in a nutrient-rich clay ball, to aid wildflower dispersement and as a simpler way to sow wildflowers. The protective coating protects the seeds, nourishes the growing plants and helps them retain moisture.

Applying their unique seed sowing method, the company have launched a new herb range with the stipulation that though one should enjoy their herbs, to leave a few to flower for the benefit of garden wildlife. Herbs not only add delicious flavour to dishes and drinks, but the plants also provide vital food for pollinators and wildlife. When left to bloom, they offer a colourful display in the garden, as well as a hearty meal for beneficial bugs and wildlife. The tubes are attractively illustrated and come in a set of five: basil, chive, mint, parsley and wild rocket salad. Each tube contains 20 seed balls, with specially selected seeds encased in the nutrient-rich clay ball.

Seedball was founded by two conservation scientists wanting to boost biodiversity and help wildlife. The company creates wildflower seedballs in mixed or single variety packages that are developed to help reverse the decline in pollinators and garden wildlife. This year, Seedball’s profits have enabled it to purchase land to protect and rewild to support and boost local biodiversity. The products are sold in over 900 stores in the UK, including Kew Gardens, The Woodland Trust and Blue Diamond Garden Centres, as well as online retailers such as Crocus and Marie Curie.
