Description: Rewild your home & support our pollinators with these easy to grow wildflower seed balls 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.? 97% of natural bee and butterfly habitat has been lost in the UK since WW2. 97%. Ninety Seven Percent. It's frightening and critical.? With your help, we can start to restore the lost wildflower habitat and make an important contribution to the biodiversity of Great Britain ? Created by conservation scientists and 100% British made, Seedball is a unique innovation to help more people grow bee and butterfly-friendly wildflowers. They are manufactured in-house using a mixture of UK-native seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder to create a protective casing against seed predators (e. g. birds and ants).
