Our Economic Promise
Packaging & Tag Information
At Beò we are always striving to do our part for our earth, you can rest assured that all of our postal packaging is plastic free, fully recyclable and compostable. As a free gift to you we included seeded tags on all of our products which you can grow your own wild flowers from and the cardboard acts as an organic aid to growth in your pot or wherever you choose to grow your wild flowers.
To plant your seeded tags, simply:
- Pour some soil down at the bottom of you pot, about 3/4s full or dig a small hole in your garden and slightly compress the solid down
- Lay your seeded tag on top of the slightly compressed soil
- Cover with ⅛ inch of soil and give it a good drink of water
- After that, make sure that the soil is always moist and place in a sunny spot
- You should start to see sprout in as little as 7-10 days
- Enjoy your wild flowers, and don’t forget to share with the bees! Bees and other pollinating insects like butterfly and hoverflies love wild flowers
Dispatch Information
Up in the Scottish highlands where we are based, post offices are few and far between with fewer opening hours than other mainland parts of the UK. We are lucky enough to have a post office across the road, and as we are a small, family run business we take pride in taking all of your parcels to be posted ourselves.
We only dispatch one day a week, which is a Thursday, not only due to the less frequent opening hours of the post office, but to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Please expect 3-5 business days for your parcels to arrive. We thank you for your patience and helping us to keep our business green.
