With the info of what's in them you can base on what you'd like to do with them. A few people have put the contents in with potted plants and it provides a little nutrition to the plants, but I would not rely on it as a source of a fertilizer.
Seems there are not many other uses for them other than the purpose of preserving the flowers in a vase. Best to you.
Perhaps other Hometalkers have found some good uses for them.
I keep them and then I cut flowers from my garden and use them or when I give people cut flowers from my garden, I always include them. I've also found that grocery store flowers rarely come with those packets, so it's nice to have extras at home.
I just pulled up all my sunflowers and the stalks are nice and solid. I don't want to just throw them in the woods if there's something I can do with them. Any ideas?
I have 3 large pieces of blackboard slate I obtained years ago when an old elementary school was being torn down. Each piece is 42" x 49" and 1/4" thick. Can I use it...

You could use them on flowers you cut from the garden and bring in the house.
Rather than throwing them away, sprinkle the contents in a flower or vegetable garden.
Hello, save them for any of your own flowers you grow and cut
I take them to the local flower shop so that they can use them or reuse them :)
Save them for flowers you cut yourself.

For flowers you cut yourself, save them. Or you could bring them to the flower shop around the corner so they can reuse or put them to better use.
