GROW Wild, one of the UK’s biggest seed sowing campaigns, now has thousands of free seed kits to give away, so that people can transform their local spaces into colourful wild flower havens.

Registration is now open.

Everyone who gets involved will be helping to create more than one million square metres of wild flowers next summer.

The seed sowing kits are designed for people to share with their formal and informal groups, including workplaces, neighbours and activity clubs.

There are 120,000 free seed kits available. People can register on behalf of their group by filling in Grow Wild’s simple form on the growwildup.com website.

The scheme is being led by Kew Gardens and funded by the Big Lottery Fund with the idea of inspiring communities, friends, neighbours to come together to transform local spaces, by sowing with wild flowers.

Registration closes at midnight on February 14 and the free kits will be sent out in late March, just in time for spring sowing.

Each Grow Wild kit contains five packets of seeds, enough to transform at least 10 square metres.

Each Grow Wild kit also contains a getting started guide, DIY bee house and site markers. There is also lots of information and useful tips on the website.

Vinny Ganley, from Grow Wild, said: “This year, we have nearly four times more kits available than for 2014 so it’s going to be a bumper year for wild flowers.

“Everyone who gets involved is joining something that’s making a really big impact and showing how a small change can make a big difference when we work together.”
