Take part in our seeded bookmark-making activity and enjoy our plantable seed tokens—two simple, hands-on ways to do something good for the planet.
Seeded Bookmarks
Craft your own bookmark using plantable seed paper embedded with UK wildflower seeds. When you’re ready, plant your bookmark in soil and watch it transform into flowers that support bees and other pollinators.
Seed paper is fully biodegradable, reduces waste, and encourages pollinator-friendly planting—small actions that help sustain healthy ecosystems.
Plantable Seed Tokens
We’re also giving out wildflower seed tokens for you to plant at home. And for every token handed out, the company will plant a tree. In fact, we’ve purchased 60 trees for this event—meaning 60 new trees will be planted as a direct result of your participation.
Food Truck Fun
While you get creative with seeds, enjoy a delicious treat from the waffle food truck arriving at the event. It’s the perfect way to combine a love of good, vegetarian food whilst supporting sustainability.
Why This Matters
Together, wildflowers and trees play a powerful role in restoring nature:
- Trees absorb carbon, clean the air, and provide essential habitats.
- Wildflowers feed pollinators, which are crucial for biodiversity and food production.
- Both help combat climate change, support wildlife, and rebuild healthy environments.
Spider plant babies!
We’ve grown them ourselves, so you don’t have to worry about the eco footprint. We’ve got jars ready for you to decorate and use to rehome your new plant—add your own creative touch, then place your spider plant baby in water and watch the roots continue to grow. They can thrive in water for years, making a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to your space.
Additionally, we’ll be offering a selection of leftover crafts from our previous event—so if you missed out on something you loved, now’s your perfect chance to snag it!
