Wildflowers have long played a key role in site regenerations and landscaping projects, bringing biodiversity to urban environments, as well as domestic or public green spaces. The inclusion of wildflowers is a great step in improving levels of engagement and interaction with the environment. Not only are wildflowers great at improving visual diversity, but they are also vital for conservation and can help to improve filtration rates and profiles below the ground – aiding in the formation of new habitats.
Key Spaces Could Include:
- A fantastic all-round mixture suitable for a whole range of sites and soils containing a range of the most robust species that will establish quickly.
- Golf Courses – provide fantastic wildlife spaces as part of a low maintenance plan, while improving the visual and ecological credentials of the course.
- Parks & Public Spaces – Add colour and diversity to the spaces with an established wildflower meadow. With flowering periods varying from the early spring through until the autumn, create a place the people and wildlife will love!
- Highways – restore space for nature by establishing wildflower areas roadside, provide shelter and food for insects all while creating a space that requires less mowing and maintenance when compared to 100% grass verges.
- Agricultural Land – Farmers and landowners may now be able to benefit from a number of schemes by establishing wildflower areas. Field margins and spaces sown with wildflowers will support butterfly, bee and insect populations as well as provide habitat for a number of bird species.
In order to meet with the increasing demand for conservation mixtures, we have formulated seventeen mixtures, each designed to recreate a particular habitat.
