Wildflower Seed Party
Learn how to identify wildflowers in the seeding stage, how to harvest, process and store different types of seeds for re-sowing, and everything you need to know to care for a wildflower meadow.
Join us in the morning or afternoon (or both!) at the StAndEN EcoHub!
Vibes du jour:
- Spend some relaxing time in the garden, collecting seeds and observing nature.
- Enjoy a scything demonstration and learn how to sensitively care for a wildflower patch or meadow.
- Access to flower ID books and local expertise.
- A chance to sit and chat, while processing and sorting seeds.
- Ask us questions about your own green space, and get advice on how to start your own wildflower meadow.
- Take some seeds home to start sowing immediately!

- 10:30: arrive, have a cup of tea, meet the Seed Library
