Sharing Seeds

You've chosen a tree and are ready to go! Below is some guidance for choosing suitable seeds and plants for your new public garden and 7 varieties of seeds we can deliver to you up until 30 June free of charge. Guidance Choose plants which have a variety of flower shapes. A variety of flower shapes is key to provide pollination opportunities for as many different pollinators (inc different bee species) as possible. Consider choosing a mixture of evergreen plants, perennials (they die back each year but come back) and annuals (a one year show but collect seeds for an encore next year). We will keep sharing photos to give you ideas! Avoid planting spiky plants, or plants which can sting, or plants which are toxic or invasive species which the Council may remove i.e. ivy, Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam, or giant hogweed Let's try not to create trip hazards or problems for pedestrians. Don't plant anything that will grow too large (over 1m) and tie back any plants
