Morrisons is giving away 2.75 million packets of cornflower seeds to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and give the nation a colourful boost. From today (May 16), packs of cornflower seeds will be given away in every Morrisons store nationwide.
Shoppers will be able to get a free pack at the checkout and online. Community Champions from the supermarket will also distribute them to local schools, care homes and community groups to help spread hope and positivity in their local area.
New research from Morrisons found the majority of people (63%) viewed the Queen as a symbol of hope throughout her reign, placing Her Majesty above other notable figures such as Greta Thunberg (30%) and Bill Gates (27%). In addition, nearly three quarters of Brits (73%) said flowers made them feel hopeful and a further three in five (62%) felt gardening lifted their mood, highlighting the benefit of the activity ahead of the Jubilee celebrations.
