Drew Smith Giving Away Free Wildflower Seeds!

Drew Smith, part of Vistry Partnerships, is sprinkling bee love across the South this Easter as part of the company’s initiative to increase the pollination of wildflowers for bees.

Drew Smith are proud supporters of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and through this partnership the team aim to ensure that the developments we create will enhance biodiversity and sustain wildlife through providing flower rich environments. With the decline of UK bumblebees in recent years the team will be committed to raise awareness and education of how our residents can support bumblebees and other insects in their own gardens and throughout the community where they live.

The free wildflower packs can be requested through the Drew Smith website and packs will include a pack of wildflower seeds as well as an information and activity pack.

Vicky Eagle, Marketing Manager at Drew Smith said: “There is nothing better than seeing bumblebees feeding on wildflowers that you have grown from seed in your garden. You don’t need to be an expert gardener, you can plant these seeds in window boxes, hanging baskets or in your garden so everyone can get involved in supporting the bumblebees in the region.”

The seed packets have been scientifically curated by Pollenize. Pollenize are an organisation who gather environmental intelligence data to research and combat the drivers of insect decline and deliver public led rewilding solutions. A significant part of their work is tracking where their seeds have been planted to collate the data of that area and the wildlife that has benefited. Drew Smith and Vistry Partnerships have teamed up with Pollenize so that when one of our seed packets are logged onto their map, we can see just how many seeds we have helped to plant.

Drew Smith is also giving children the chance to win £500 for their school by designing the perfect garden to attract wildlife this spring. For more information and to request your wildflower seeds visit our dedicated website page now.
