Wildflower seeds will be given to every primary school to mark the Coronation and inspire children to learn about nature and biodiversity, in a joint project between the Department for Education and the Eden project.
More than 200,000 packets of seeds will be sent to all state-funded primary schools in honour of King Charles's commitment to fight climate change and his love of nature.
The DfE hopes that planting wildflowers will inspire children to learn about nature, building on the plans to create a National Education Nature Park.
If they are all planted the DfE said they would create around 40 rugby pitch sized wildflower meadows to boost the biodiversity of schools' green spaces, and support pollinators.
