Make Your Own Seedball Kit- Flowers for Bees

Yay! Make your own seed balls! It’s super fun, pretty messy and a brilliant activity for all ages!

Each kit includes 3 plastic-free pouches of raw materials, which when mixed together with water will create enough mix for 40-60 balls (size depending).

1. Bee friendly wildflower seeds (see mix details below)
2. Clay powder
3. Peat-free compost

You’ll need a mixing bowl, some water and a tray to dry the balls on. Also included is an instruction sheet giving full details of how to make the balls. Making seed balls can take from approximately 20 minutes to an hour depending on your dedication to rolling perfection!

These make for lovely gardening gifts, bee and butterfly gifts and eco-friendly gifts for any nature lover.

Each pouch of seed contains a mix of bee and butterfly friendly wildflowers, including Poppy, Common toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow cranesbill, Musk mallow, Oxeye daisy and Red campion.

Once rolled, the seed balls are best scattered in the Autumn, followed by Spring (but as a rule of thumb anytime except winter is fine).

The mix includes the following super wildlife-friendly flowers, all recommended as bee-friendly plants by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust:

• Common Poppy (Palaver rhoeas)
• Common Toadflax (Linaria vulgaris)
• Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
• Cowslip (Primula veris)
• Meadow Cranesbill (Geranium pratense)
• Musk Mallow (Malva moschata)
• Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)
• Red Campion (Silene dioica)
