Seedball is a UK-based non-profit company on a massive mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. They believe that if we can all better use whatever space we have available to us (whether a back garden, balcony, window box, little patio etc) we can together have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems. The last 50 years have been witness to huge declines in pollinators and other garden wildlife, but the good folks at Seedball believe that together we can really really do something to reverse this.
