We’re delighted to announce our partnership with L’OCCITANE to celebrate their classic Verbena & Lavender collection. Together, we’re promoting biodiversity and encouraging rewilding – two causes that mean the world to us here at Beards & Daisies.
When you spend over £40 on the Verbena & Lavender range, you’ll receive a free hand cream duo and a pack of lavender seeds, courtesy of Beards & Daisies. These seeds are your invitation to join us in creating a greener, more biodiverse world – starting right at home.
Over the next month, we’ll be running plenty of exciting giveaways featuring planty goodies and luxurious L’OCCITANE products. Keep an eye on our social media and email newsletter so you don’t miss out.
Why Lavender is So Important
Lavender isn’t just a gorgeous, fragrant plant for your home or garden – it’s a lifeline for pollinators like bees. These tiny creatures play a massive role in maintaining biodiversity and ensuring our ecosystems thrive. Without bees, many of our favourite plants, including indoor house plants like Peace Lilys and Spider plants, wouldn’t exist.
As L’OCCITANE explains:
"Not only is lavender used for its relaxing properties, but it is also essential in protecting bees. We are committed to respecting the environment by making positive changes to help our planet. By planting our lavender seeds, you can attract pollinators and in turn, encourage biodiversity to thrive."
We couldn’t agree more. Lavender is a magnet for pollinators. Its sweet-smelling blooms attract bees and butterflies, giving them a much-needed source of nectar. By planting lavender in your garden or outdoor space, you’re helping to support these vital creatures and encouraging biodiversity to flourish.
How You Can Make a Difference
Rewilding and supporting pollinators might sound daunting, but it’s surprisingly simple. Here’s how you can get started:
Plant Lavender
Lavender thrives in sunny spots, but it can also grow happily in pots on your windowsill or balcony. Pair it with your houseplants to create a green sanctuary that’s good for you and the environment.
Create a Pollinator-Friendly Garden
Whether you have a sprawling garden or a small patio, every effort counts. Adding indoor house plants, outdoor plants, and wildflowers to your space creates a haven for pollinators and helps biodiversity thrive.
Skip the Pesticides
Harsh chemicals can harm bees and other beneficial insects. Instead, try natural pest control solutions to keep your plants healthy while protecting the environment.
Take Five Minutes to Reconnect
Caring for your plants – whether it’s watering your ZZ plant or pruning your lavender – is a simple way to look after your mental well-being. Plants have a wonderful way of grounding us, helping us slow down and reconnect with nature.
We’re proud to team up with L’OCCITANE, a brand that shares our passion for protecting the planet. Like us, they believe in the power of small changes to make a big difference. By planting the lavender seeds included in this collaboration, you’re joining us in creating a healthier, greener world.
The competition has now closed, but we hope you enjoyed the chance to WIN plenty of planty goodies and gorgeous L’OCCITANE products. Although the giveaways have ended, we’re thrilled to have partnered with such an incredible brand to celebrate their Verbena & Lavender collection and support biodiversity.
