Blooming lovely!

A blooming lovely offering for garden centre card shelves are Stormy Knight’s awardwinning BLOOM seedstick cards. Each of the 42 designs are beautifully illustrated with a contemporary Scandi-inspired style by well-renowned illustrator Clare Owen, and are finished with satin gold foil lettering and smooth rounded corners. But there’s even more to these cards, as each one houses a pack of five biodegradable seedsticks neatly inside, along with simple growing instructions that allows the recipient to pop them in the soil, add a little water, then sit back and watch their seeds bloom!

The cards have 16 different seed varieties depending on the design, including bee-friendly wildflowers, mixed herbs, strawberries, lavender, cosmos, mint, tomato and even Christmas trees! As well as the beautiful array of floral designs, there are also designs that feature popular cocktails and include the recipe inside – think refreshing mint mojitos made with your very own homegrown Moroccan mint, or a daiquiri muddled with fresh British strawberries straight from your garden… delicious!

“These cards are perfect for plant-lovers and green fingered garden enthusiasts – but they are also just as easy for novices to use, because of their simplicity,’’ says Sarah Jackson, director of Stormy Knight

“They offer something a little different to other seeded cards because the card itself doesn’t need to be planted - so it can stay on the mantelpiece looking beautiful for as long as the recipient desires.”

It’s easy to see why this collection picked up a prestigious Henries award at last year’s ceremony – and at the time of going to press, Stormy Knight is shortlisted for another in this year’s Mother’s Day category. The whole BLOOM collection comprises 42 designs, spanning Christmas, occasions and birthdays. They are all designed and produced in the UK with environmentally sustainable material and come packaged with a peelable paper label that advertises the seedsticks inside. Stormy
