Title: Free seeds from Suttons
Post by: Money_Bunny on May 16, 2006, 16:53:32
I just found this on a freebie website I use regularly

Spotted this on in the Homebase Garden Living Club magazine. You can receive a lucky dip of 3 packets of seeds- which could include flowers, herbs or vegetables by sending a SAE to:
Suttons Consumer Products Ltd,
Home base Garden club Free Seed Offer,
Woodview Road,
Paignton,
Devon,
TQ4 7NG

Envelopes to reach them by 8th July.'Limited supply means only 1 entry per household.'

Hope that helps someone, will be sending off for mine.

Thanks for the MB I'll be posting off for mine too

I often see posts where people say they have received free seeds and was wondering where you all get them from and how other newbies might go about getting them

I received mine this morning.

Lupin - pink fairy, Poppy - shirley mix and Nasturtium - jewel mix.

not bad for the price of 2 stamps (although other half pointed out that I could have bought some more seeds at netto for 19p a packet)

What did you get?

Suttons are a good firm - they did a huge favour for me when I was a student teacher.  They and J Arthur Bowers sent me loads of things and I made a brilliant wall display for "Helping plants to grow well"  Have a lot of time for both those firms.
