Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral - A heritage partnership
Our collaboration journey started in 2024

We were commissioned by Lincoln Cathedral to create two exclusive products for their gift store, designed to celebrate the history, beauty, and heritage of the cloister gardens.
The funds (profits) from our products go directly to Lincoln Cathedral to help with essential repairs and the general upkeep. 

Native Seed Ball Box:
These special Eco Seed Balls contain a carefully researched mix of native flowers inspired by the cloister gardens. Historically, the cloister gardens featured a range of plants that were quite difficult to care for, and over time many were replaced with hardier, lower maintenance varieties. In designing this seed ball mix, we took inspiration from both the original plantings and elements of Lincoln Cathedral itself, including the 1988 tapestry in the Treasury, which displays the 16 flowers traditionally associated with the Virgin Mary, and the Victorian glass in the nave, which features simpler five-petal flower motifs, like blue ones resembling forget-me-nots and yellow ones reminiscent of buttercups. These historical references guided our choice of seeds, creating a blend that is both beautiful, easy to grow, and deeply connected to the Cathedral’s story.

Plantable Cards:
We also created a set of four plantable cards featuring images of Lincoln Cathedral taken from The Dean’s Garden area. Each card can be planted to grow wildflowers and comes with envelopes, with the Lincoln Cathedral logo printed on the back.

Plantable Puzzle:
New for 2026, our Plantable Puzzle is a 54-piece puzzle featuring a beautiful image of Dean’s Green at Lincoln Cathedral. The photograph was taken by us during the summer of 2025, captured especially for the creation of this unique and thoughtful product.

Designed as a calming and mindful activity, the puzzle can be enjoyed at your own pace before being given a second life. Once completed, the pieces can be planted, where they naturally break down to reveal a rich mix of UK native wildflower seeds embedded within.

As the seeds grow, your puzzle transforms into an abundance of wildflowers to enjoy in your outdoor spaces, supporting pollinators and giving something back to nature. This puzzle offers a truly unique experience, combining creativity, mindfulness and sustainability in a way that continues to grow long after the final piece is placed.

Each of these products can be purchased in the Lincoln Cathedral Gift Store and celebrate the Cathedral’s heritage while encouraging people to bring native flowers back to life in their own gardens.
