Seed Revolution:
Seed Revolution is a campaign to save Britain’s natural beauty and our food supply by planting native wild flowers to bring back the bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Rex Fisher—currently rowing across the Atlantic to raise funds for a wonderful charity called Tackling Minds, which through fishing supports mental health—and Max Mancroft (whose father is our host at the House of Lords) are spreading the seeds of this benign revolution. Young countrymen both, through their fast-growing company Seed Revolution they are applying a light-hearted new approach to an issue which they hold dear—and know to be of serious importance. As they say,
‘Since the 1930s we have lost 97% of our wild flower meadows in the UK. Meadows which provide essential habitats for pollinators. No pollinators, no us. Without wild flowers, we have no bees. No bees, we have no food. No food and we’re all doomed. But the solution is easy, and full of beauty. Grow wild flowers. Save bees. Rescue humanity. Welcome to the revolution . . . ‘
You can sow wild flowers almost anywhere—we all have a place we can transform into a magical floral scene, a pleasure for us and an important haven for the bees: an area of garden, around a pond or bog, an orchard, meadow, hedgerow, woodland, river and canal bank—even a plant pot. Or do some guerrilla gardening by lobbying to plant on verges, sports fields or parks.
Success comes easy. The only two rules are that wild flowers need sunlight and they prefer the poorest quality soil you can think of.
