The perfect plastic free stocking filler, these plantable paper stars have been handmade in the UK by skilled papermakers using locally sourced wildflower seeds. The kit contains everything you need to plant bee-friendly wildflowers. The stars are embedded with up to 24 varieties of non-invasive seeds, mixed by us to support bees & other pollinators. When the paper stars are planted, the paper composts away, & all that remains are the flowers. A mix of annuals for first year colour, as well as perennials species which will flower from year two.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? Our plantable paper is milled right here in Britain, using a traditional deckle & mould, & hung to dry in the rafters of the mill to maximise the germination rate. The seeds used are all native, non-invasive species sourced from counties across England & hand mixed by us in our West Sussex studio. As well as helping to preserve British wildflowers, & in doing so, our pollinators, when you buy Ruby & Bo plantable paper, you are also directly supporting & sustaining the critically endangered craft of papermaking in this country. We are truly 100% British made, not just a British maker using materials flown in from abroad. This product is ethically & sustainably made by local people, using local materials. AND… at risk of sounding like every other ‘green’ brand out there.. We plant a tree for every order placed & to date have planted over 25,000 both in the UK & abroad.
