With the Grow Your Dreams™ campaign, we are inviting our customers to play an active part in the regeneration of our ecosystems. When they scan the QR code on the bottle, they will then enter their information to receive a postcard full of wildflower seeds, ready to plant just as it is.
They will have space to inscribe their dreams on the card, plant it in the earth’s soil, and watch as the wildflowers bloom – giving new life to the earth, the pollinators and their own dreams.
