The International Flower of Hope for Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

Thank you for your support of the Threads of Life garden, these seeds will help to raise awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The Blue Cornflower is a symbol of hope, strength and solidarity for those affected by Motor Neurone Disease.

Threads of Life is a Beautiful Border at the Gardeners World Life 2026 show, designed by Jan O'Brien, it aims to raise awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, honouring a close friend of Jan's whose thread runs through this narrative.

Easy to grow and loved by pollinators, Cornflowers bring bright, uplifting colour to any garden. Sow them, grow them, and let them stand as a reminder of resilience — and of the threads that connect us.
