The First Day of Spring is time to plant wildflowers!

At The Empty Box Company, we are committed to being a climate friendly company, in the materials we use, utilising our waste in recycled or imaginative ways, & reaching our net zero target. We also have our own tree planting schemes around our Devon workshop to help with carbon capture, plus our wonderful hay meadow projects. A hectare of wildflower meadow can capture 11 tonnes of CO2 annually, so we use this as part of a combatting climate change project! (please see the link for more information!) https://www.emptybox.co.uk/product/woodland-tree-planting/

But we would like you to help too! We have some Free Matchbox Wildflower Seedballs to give away, with every order placed from the first day of spring (21st March 2024) until Easter week, or until our stocks last. I know it is just a drop in the ocean, but who knows what it might inspire in you?

A wildflower garden is easy to create, on any small patch of land. Or if you don’t have a garden, plant a window pot with our seedballs! Infact many plants that gardeners call weeds, are actually wild flowers, and grow easily in cracks of paving or amongst a stony path. Leave your daisies, buttercups, dandelions & wayside plants wherever you can, as bees and butterflies love them. There is plenty of information about Wild flower Meadows on Plantlife, and you can join in with No Mow May if you have even a small patch of lawn, to help save our bees & wildlife.

I had three Bespoke Hat Boxes made for me all those years ago (1993) in my left over French wall paper I had in my London bathroom. It was a very grand bathroom. I've moved since, always with these boxes. To the Cotswolds, to Saint Remy de Provence, and now to Naples, Florida. They are going to be someone's long after I am gone. Much adored, thank you! My boxes are beautiful, I'm so glad I found you all those years ago. I just discovered too your splendid YouTube channel. Thank you for opening new doors!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for my daughter's wedding travel box. Absolutely exquisite! The quality and heart pattern of the box is perfect for any bride to accompany her wedding dress abroad. Such a special time for any lady! The calligraphy as well is impeccable! Thank you again to you and your team for helping us make such an important personal occasion stress free.
I have recently received my order from you, and would just like to thank you all so much for my wedding dress box. It was a surprise to see such a wonderful designed box, which had a lot of storage space. I have searched high and low for a large box and have only been successful with yourself.
Very rarely in this busy world we lead do I feel strongly enough to put “pen to paper” however having taken delivery of my wedding dress travel box this morning I feel compelled to write to you! I must admit that initially, I hesitated about placing an order for what seemed effectively like just an empty box. Well, I stand corrected! The box is absolutely stunning and of amazing quality – I simply had to express my thanks for supplying such a beautiful product. Rest assured it will be displayed with pride on top of my wardrobe.
Wow! What a beautiful box for my wedding dress. It was so sad to pack my dress away, but your box was just perfect. My Mum thought I was ordering just an ordinary plain box! No way! Thank you so much.
