Seed Bombs

For our 50th anniversary, we’re handing out coasters that are infused with wildflower seeds! Pick one up at the customer service desk while supplies last.

The coasters are made from biodegradable eco-paper that’s been embedded with seeds. To get the best results, plant the paper in a sunny area under a thin dusting (1/8-inch) of soil. Keep the soil moist but with good drainage. The seed paper includes perennial black eyed Susans and annual bird’s eye, clarkia, catchfly, snapdragons, and sweet alyssum. Hope this adds some beauty and color to your yard or pots and your life!
