Wildflowers seeds are being sent to every primary school, sufficient for all classes, in honour of the Coronation, according to the Gov.UK webpage.
Edd Moore, our sustainability and environment national council officer, said that; 'More than 200,000 packets of wildflower seeds are to be sent to primary schools across the UK to mark the King's Coronation. Planting the seeds will be an opportunity for children to engage with the natural world and learn more about the importance of biodiversity, as well as being a way for them to celebrate a historic national moment. If planted together around 40 rugby pitch sized wildflower meadows would be created. The packets of seeds include native annual wildflower species, like cornflower, corn poppy and corn chamomile. The wildflowers will provide food for a wide range of insects including bees, butterflies and other pollinators in school grounds across England. Seeds will be distributed to schools in the coming weeks. The Eden Project has made accompanying resources available https://lnkd.in/ePNn8Zd4
