Sutton Coldfield Town Council is offering residents the opportunity to pick up a packet of free wildflower seeds to have the enjoyment of growing their own mini wildflower area. These have been distributed at community venues across the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield to inspire residents to take part in creating a greener community.  

The packets contain a pollinator-friendly mix of seeds native to the U.K. and can be planted at any time of year to encourage biodiversity and support pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

The wildflower seeds are available at community venues across Sutton Coldfield, including the following publicly accessible venues. Please note that opening times may vary, so we recommend checking in advance and contacting the venue directly before travelling.

• Olive Branch café located at Four Oaks Baptist Church
• Second Thoughts charity shop
• Harvest Fields Centre
• Sutton Coldfield Town Hall
• Sutton Coldfield United Reformed Church
• Trinity Centre
• Walmley Library
• Mere Green Library
• Boldmere Library (available from Thursday 12 June)
