Spring conjures images of life and growth and renewal. If you have a green thumb, you'll also know it is the time to plant seeds.
Seedsticks is an environmentally friendly give-away idea.

ate, childcare, garden and horticulture, government, rural and fundraising.
Love is in the air in September. It is the start of the 'wedding season'. Seedsticks would be a lovely bomboniere (guest gift) to celebrate a new union.
Our Seedstick products are available in a 'matchbox' style pack or custom shape with multiple seeds attached to either 5 or 10 planting sticks (you can select from flowers,vegies, herbs or natives).
