Welcome to the Bee-friendly, Wildflower section of our website. 

Thank you for purchasing our seeds which are produced in Ireland in an ethically and environmentally friendly way.  We are delighted that you have decided to help us help children and families in Nepal and in doing so safeguarding our own local endangered wildflower and bee populations.

Bees and wildflowers are important everywhere but especially so in Simthali, Nepal where we grow our organic produce.  Here the farming community realise this and have the utmost respect for the Bees and what they do.  Each house has a very simple homemade hive made from a hollowed log with a hole drilled in it and the ends sealed up with mud.  Simple but highly effective.
