Wildflower Garden Seed Gifts
Last year, our gift of 350+ butterfly and hummingbird-attracting wildflower garden seed packets was such a success that Art of Leisure and specialty food company Sonoma Syrup Co. have partnered with the Sonoma Ecology Center this year, and would love to share these pollinator garden packets with the community once again. This year, our high quality seed varieties are all native California wildflowers and each packet contains enough seeds for about 18 sq. ft.
This annual endeavor was inspired and created by Brenda McNeill of Art of Leisure Studio, artist, leisure lifestyle curator + founder of Sonoma Nature Journal Club. Sonoma Ecology Center is celebrating its 35 anniversary this Earth Day, April 22nd; what perfect timing to spread wildflowers in honor of all they do!
