These handmade plantable stars have been embedded with 24 varieties of native British wildflowers specifically mixed to support bees and other pollinators
When the stars are planted, the paper will compost away to leave only flowers. A mix of annuals to provide first year colour, as well as perennials, which will flower from year two.
Our Christmas stars make lovely advent gifts and stocking fillers, as well as cracker gifts, table decorations and favours.
The stars are available in sets of 10, 20 and 50, as well as in our mini 'party packs' of 2.
Full planting instructions are included and all materials and packaging are fully compostable.
WHY BUY OUR STARS?
Our plantable paper is milled here in Britain, using a traditional deckle and mould, and hung to dry in the rafters of the mill. The seeds used are all native, non-invasive species, and are hand mixed by us in our West Sussex studio. The whole making process focuses on maximising the germination rate of these seeds.
This is the difference between our unique paper, and the mass produced seed paper found elsewhere – our paper grows – But don’t take our word for it, have a look at all of the customer growing shots on our Instagram page.
Not only do our stars feed the bees.. When you buy a Ruby & Bo product, you are also directly supporting and sustaining the endangered craft of papermaking in this country. We are truly 100% British made, this product is ethically and sustainably made by local people, using local materials.
AND… We plant a tree for every single order placed, to date have planted over 17,000 both in the UK and abroad.
