Here is the reply regarding no seeds in our magazines
Unfortunately BBC Gardeners’ World is unable to supply free seeds to subscribers and readers outside mainland UK due to new restrictions on moving plants and seeds overseas. We will review this situation should regulations change in 2022. At the end of the Brexit transition period, the rules about transporting seeds and plants from and to Northern Ireland changed and the new position is complex and not yet completely clear. As our magazines are planned and produced several months in advance, we are not currently able to include seed packs with copies of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine sold in Northern Ireland. Our suppliers are reviewing the position constantly and we are exploring all options to reintroduce seed packs or offer our readers in Northern Ireland a different gift.
If there is anything else that I can help you with please don’t hesitate to contact me.
so there we won’t be getting anything in our magazines
