GROW ME

Every single one of our medals plants a tree. 

​

We’re passionate about fighting climate change, protecting natural habitats and ensuring that nothing loses because you’re a winner. That’s why we plant a tree for every medal given out. 

​

The trees are planted by our trusted partners. We use established charitable organisations around the world who work to ensure the local communities are supported, employees are paid fairly, the trees are protected and their future is sustainable and viable. 

​

You can find out more about where the trees are planted, what effect those trees will have and what a difference your achievement has made on our tree fact sheet.

SEEDED MEDALS

 

If you’ve received one of our seeded medals in the UK, they are packed with 100% Wildflower Seeds. We’ve chosen this mix because it’s especially attractive to bees and butterflies. 

​

Once established the flowers will keep coming back year after year. However, not all of the seeds appear in year one, a few need a little more time to come to pass – but don't despair, give it until year two and they'll make an appearance. Think of it as the difference between fast runners and slow runners... we all get there in the end. 

​

Planting

When you're bored with admiring your hard-earned medals – simply untie the ribbon, break up the medal and pop it into some compost. Although the ribbon is biodegradable, they'll take a while to break down and we're sure they can come in more useful!

​

Most of the seeds will appreciate being planted in Spring or Summer (with a little water), however, during the winter you can start the seeds off in a pot and keep them indoors or a warm greenhouse. Either way, they're pretty hardy – they're wild, after all!
