Wildflower meadows are really important building blocks of biodiversity. 

Defined as ‘the degree of variation of life found in an ecosystem’, biodiversity is essentially a measure of how healthy an ecosystem is and wildflower meadows are one of the most biodiverse types of ecosystem out there. A wide variety of really beneficial insects and pollinators can thrive in a wildflower meadow and in turn we benefit from their work. 

Unfortunately, it is estimated that the UK has lost over 98% of its wildflower meadows. Not only is this a profound loss of beauty in our landscape but it’s a significant loss of habitat for our beleaguered insects too.

With UK gardens covering an area twice the size of Somerset, garden owners can make a huge positive impact on biodiversity levels.

The perennial wildflower turf we supply is made up of over 30 native wildflowers that will come back year after year as long as it gets its autumn cut and clear. 

It will probably look different every year too depending on the weather conditions prevalent at the time. It will also change throughout the growing season as different species flower at different times. 

Perennial wildflower meadows may not be considered as ‘pretty’ as an annual wildflower meadow by some, but it still has a visual impact that can be stunning. 

Add to that the benefits of wildflower meadows to wildlife, especially our pollinators, and you have an option available to you that can add a gorgeously different dimension to your garden.
