Default Lidl seeds in tray


I bought a couple of seed trays (Lavandula) from Lidl very cheaply,
but - probably due to ignorance - I'm not sure what to do with them.
The tray is described on the top as "Mini-Greenhouse"
The instructions on the bottom of the tray start
"Press seeds firmly into the soil after sowing".

I expected to get a small packet of seeds inside,
which I would press in the compost/content of the tray.
But there no seed packet in the soil,
and if there are seeds in the compost I don't see them.

I'm thinking of watering the tray, and leaving it somewhere warm,
but if anyone knows better I'd be very grateful for advice.

Ask Lidl - and also check that the seed packets aren't between two bits of
the plastic tray.

Quite possibly the packet of seeds has been lost or pinched.
