It’s been a while since I have shared free printables. I made 2 Seed Packet Template designs. I thought today would be perfect to share a couple of the seed saver envelopes, and the DIY since we are heading into gardening season. I have two options for the back of the design on one of these envelopes. You can use this as a Mother’s Day gift idea by adding flowers seeds to the packet. Or just use it for your extra seeds, after planting for a free seed saver envelope.
This would be a fun way for the kids to celebrate mom, and have the activity of planting flowers with her in the garden. But, these seed envelopes are good for your extra seeds, or anytime you need a garden seed packet.

This seed saver DIY is easy to make. Another gardening gift you can make is this Herb Garden Kit DIY which also comes with free Mother’s Day printable, and a garden printable.
