Sunflower Competition Update

Sep 1, 2021 | Sustainability | 0 comments

Essench is a family business and wants nothing more than our children to continue the work we’ve started. Building our business has led our family to research our impact on nature and our environment. One of the ways we are doing this is making sure we protect our environment and assist in its continued growth and healing. 

This Summer we aim to stretch our reach further and help others protect the local environment by giving our native bees more food this Summer and our birds a food source into Autumn and Winter.

During the Spring we announced our collaboration with SimplySeed to give away 200 packets of Ruby Passion sunflower seeds. Giving you something special to enjoy throughout Summer and your local wildlife a great food source into Autumn.

THE COMPETITION 

Originally our competition was for the tallest sunflower and in the junior competition the widest sunflower, however, the late frosts, heavy rains, and erratic temperatures have hampered a lot of gardens this year. 

We have realised a lot of people have lost many of their sunflowers due to the weather but also to animals such as squirrels as the weather has also affected their natural food sources.  We didn’t want people to miss out on entering so we are changing the entering criteria.
