Lawns & Wildflower Meadows

Lawns and wildflower meadows are cultivated and created from rough ground or old lawns, transforming areas into rejuvenated, manicured lawns. Such features can make any garden a much more pleasant place to relax and enjoy and also an area for play which is especially important for young families.

We supply shrubs and trees, including all herbaceous plants, when creating the framework and structure of the gardens. Shelter and privacy with shrubs and trees worked in with herbaceous borders add interest and smell to their surroundings.

The four photos are of one garden near Castle Cary, Somerset. They are starting clockwise, of the wildflower meadow in flower. The mown lawn is shaped into a dell with a bench, from which to view the meadow. The weeping willow in the lawn leads to the second meadow in the near distance. Last year's meadow was resown in February using the pictorial meadow seed mix. Four different mixes were used to provide a varied colour scene throughout the season. Even though the spring was dry, and the wildflower meadow was slow to establish, it still produced a colourful spring to autumn display.
