Collecting seed from the wild is illegal

Are you sure of that? Can you specify the legislation that it comes
under?

Uprooting plants without the owner's permission is illegal, but not,
AFAIK, collecting seed.

and is partly what has been
blamed on the reduction and/or local extinction of some species of plant
not least in the huge quantity that you say you took. I'm not sure if
planting seed in ground where you have no permission is illegal but it
is very definitely frowned on and irresponsible, and it has led to the
degradation of local races i.e. the rapid increase in Spanish bluebell
in the u.k.
