Wildflower meadow seed

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by paradox, May 12, 2013.

  1. Does anybody use this at work or know of a cheap uk source that will sell a small amount?

    Theres a bit of wasted land in our village the developers wont touch
    Its begging for giving a helping hand to provide for nature

    A freind of mine;) would like to drop a few bags of moist compost full of wildflower seeds whilst walking the dog and i told him id ask here

  2. you can buy wild flower and meadow seeds mixes from most seed suppliers. perfect for seed bombs :)
     
  3. Ahhh someone that understands seed bombs

    Since the mass arrival of cocconut fibre in the uk seed bombs have become so feasable that even miracle grow have jumped on the wagon

    Erm hun i just need a few sock full of seed but it needs to be no foreign species
     
  4. i bought some years ago for a similar 'event' irrc i bought it by weight - can't remember where from though but it was all british species. will have a thunk about it.

    guerilla gardening is fab too ;)
