Wildflower Seed Collecting at Forest of Flowers

At the Forest of Flowers we have sown 74 acres of meadows with 35 wildflower species. Every year we collect seeds responsibly and sell them, allowing us to raise important funds for our conservation project with a product that supports habitat creation and biodiversity elsewhere in the UK. 

In this event, Alwyn Craven, founder of the Forest of Flowers in Huby, will showcase our seed collecting techniques while offering you the chance to try it yourself by gathering seeds from our meadows. You will be able to take your seed home with you at no extra cost, for sowing yourself or to give as a gift. 

Together we will look at: 

• Wildflower species identification after going to seed

• Responsible seed collecting techniques, including avoiding disruption/damage to the plant and the wider area

• Seed cleaning and storage
