If you are heading to the show pay us a visit on stand D54.

Our sales rep Jason spends his week visiting our customers to discuss their commercial seed requirements. However in his spare time he often gives talks at horticultural societies. Talking to the end users of products is always interesting and provides him with talking points for his discussions with growers. Jason is pictured here at a talk in Norfolk last week.

Last week Robert, Jessica and Jason visited the Week 24 Flower Trials in Holland. This event brings together 58 plant breeders to showcase their latest innovations in pot and bedding plants. We obviously focused on visiting breeders with seed raised products, some of which were also showing some cut flower items as well as pot and bedding varieties.

The event is a great opportunity to see new and existing products and to catch up with industry colleagues.

The images show a selection of items we are considering and some that we already stock.

Earlier this week Jessica had the pleasure of visiting Yarra Farm in Colchester which is just a 10 minute trip from our office.

She was invited by Rob Mann from Greenpath Ventures a charitable organisation who are developing a community farm and garden at the Yarra Farm site in line with the vision of the landowner, the late Brian Middleton. The aim is to help people improve wellbeing through connecting with nature and the community.

The site was teaming with activity and community members including pre school children enjoying the outdoors, students from the Kingswode Hoe School enthusiastically helping to clear planting spaces and members of The Rotary Club of Colchester, Camulos and Forum groups preparing a Remembrance Garden.

Jessica took along some seed for the community produce garden and chatted with Rob from Greenpath and Peter Herring from Rotary Colchester Camulos about the plans for the Remembrance Garden and how Moles Seeds could help.

It was great to see this fantastic community endeavour taking shape.

Are you looking to create an urban meadow?

The urban meadow is a great option in areas that do not require the formality of bedding schemes. It is a cost effective alternative to grass with a large cost saving on mowing. It has proved immensely popular with the public for its rejuvenating effect in urban areas and its positive effect on biodiversity. Our range of non-native, direct sown, annual and perennial mixtures make a stunning display throughout the spring and summer months. The contents of the mixtures have a wide range of flowering times which overlap from late spring to late summer.

Take a look at our range on the website and please contact us should you require larger quantities.

Who's Who at Moles Seeds. This is Jason our sales representative who covers the East of England.

Jason spends the majority of his time visiting customers to discuss their seed requirements, providing variety suggestions, advice and quotations. Jason gets to know and understand the growing set ups of his regular customers allowing him to suggest the varieties that may be most suitable. Getting to know customers is something he greatly enjoys.

As well as visiting established customers Jason will visit new and potential customers to see how Moles Seeds might be able to help them.

Jason keeps on top of what is new in the seed industry by visiting trials alongside colleagues from the office and he ensures that the office are made aware of any issues that have arisen for growers.

If you would like Jason to pop in and visit your nursery he can be contacted by e-mail, [email protected] or telephone on 07842 437159.

Didiscus makes a great cut flower and we have listed Didiscus Blue Lace (DID05) for several years. We have now added Pink Lace (DID03) and White Lace (DID04) along with the mixture Heavenly Umbels Lace Mixed (DID06).

The Lace series produces large sweetly scented umbels and works well in borders as well as being an excellent cut flower with a good vase life. These annual plants reach approximately 60cm in height and are well worth growing.

It is always great to receive photos and hear how our customers and those we help out are getting on with our seeds. This image has been sent to us by Barnet Mencap who are growing Sunflower Junior for their fundraising and awareness campaign centred around sunflowers 🌻, a symbol often associated with hidden (non-visible) disabilities. They are growing and selling sunflowers within the community, inviting people not just to buy a plant, but to support a cause and stand in solidarity with people whose disabilities are not always seen or understood.

We wish them much enjoyment growing the Sunflowers and every success with raising awareness and funds.
