Where the Wild Things Grow

Given the right conditions, there aren’t many gardeners who wouldn’t love to establish a wildflower meadow somewhere in their garden, but the reality is that starting from scratch can be a lengthy and tricky process. Read about it in one of the many books or features written on the topic – and you may well decide that it is all far too much trouble. But as with many things, it can be a lot easier if you enlist help from experts. Meadowmat is a quicker and easier way of establishing a wildflower meadow. You will still need to clear, cultivate and level the ground, but after that it is simply a matter of rolling out your meadow and following the instructions to ensure great results. Thirty four different species of British wild flowers are grown on to a thin layer of growing medium supported by a lightweight net and is delivered with around 75% coverage of plants that will soon grow into a dense sward. Meadowmat is sold by the square metre and can be laid at any time of year.
