GOLD DUST FOR POLLINATORS

100% Pure Irish Native Wildflower Seeds

There are hundreds of pollinating insects in Ireland. Although the honeybee gets the limelight, many of our wild bees are infinitely better pollinators and one third of these more fragile species are threatened with extinction. Habitat loss is the major contributing factor.

To protect our pollinators, the best thing we can do is create more wild spaces. What the bees need we need! By making cities better places to live for people we have a special opportunity to protect endangered pollinators and the future of biodiversity.

1,000 packets planted 100 metres apart will create a 10 kilometre long network of wild native habitat to support all members of our pollinator community.

Packet contains a mixture of annual and perennial native Irish wildflower seeds chosen to create permanent foraging for bees, butterflies, hoverflies, moths, wasps and other pollinating insects. Each seed packet contains 3gms of seeds which makes up about 1 square metre.
