About
OUR
PROFITS.
Your
purchases helps keep us as the leading independent, non funded,
Direct Action, plant species based conservation
organized business
in Ireland
Unlike all others we always have been a 'Socially orientated micro SME' who has always spoken first for nature, we directly 'act' to save species,
we are not funded.
Due
to thousands of customers, and that we are Ireland's
longest lasting social business, we use all profits in protecting biodiversity and saving
species.
We pay some of the highest horticulture wages in Ireland because our
team is highly skilled-multi-disciplinary and very 'Lean'..
Your support funds or
conservation.
Our
seed is all produced as HVNF, some SAC,
more natural farming, a touch of organic symbol
farms and a few conventional low input farms.
In some crops we use small amounts of
herbicides in most crops, no inputs at all.
We
have a positive Carbon footprint its -net Zero.
We sequester 107,359 tons of Carbon per year
We consume 34,600 tons of Carbon per year, Not including our trees and
shelter belts.
BEWARE
OF BREXIT IMPOSTER POSERS IMPORTING!!!
Even
an Irish phone and address does not mean the firm or
the WILDFLOWER SEED OR PLANT stock is Irish.
It
MUST SAY: Provenance: Native Irish, Sourced in Ireland and
Tested by DAFM.
NOR SHOULD IT BE A CERTIFIED AGRI-FORBE
as many are cheap CULTIVATED VARIETIES OF
IMPORTED WILDFLOWER 'types and varieties'' called Forbes and
are EU Certified for FOR FARM USE ONLY. Many
Irish sellers, are importing flora, that they called wild. it's not.
Native
Irish provenance flowers can survive your local climatic conditions
and protect local wildlife.
Unlike
non-native plants. when you buy native sourced Irish species they
flower at the same time as the wildlife that
visits the plants,
Imported wildflowers can bring
plant disease and pests to Ireland.
Your
purchases also supports jobs in Ireland.
Our products are price competitive with EU. and UK imports.
Our
products cannot be compared to USA imported flora
as
they are totally different, if a mix contain larkspur, calendula,
blue
lupine, Californian poppy or many others such
as flax,
its
not a native mix, even if it says wildflower,
they
are cultivated forms of wildflowers and not natives.

How
Bold are WE ? We
are even teaching our competitors to grow wildflowers so that the
industry can grow quicker, that seed prices fall and we will then be able to
grow the rarer species and save them too.
BEWARE:
Claims of supply of
'local Irish provenance' from UK firms and NI charities and government
funded NI businesses are Totally disputed by the entire Irish
seed industry. Ecological so called local provenance ecomix seeds both legally, physically
cannot and do not collect seed in every Irish county. it economical
suicide and a waste of seed that dont sell.
We
on the other hand are training a Leader funded pilot study to create
local gene-banks of Irish species throughout the 26 counties.
We Do Not
Supply:
'Green washing' projects or Russian Fascists
Nor do we support the
Green washing nor
lies and mistruths that the Pollinator Program says about wildflowers.
The Irish pollinator program supports a windfarm who destroyed two pairs
of breeding Curlews, that same windfarm has a Pollinator sign on the
gate. That's simply GREEN-WASHING
