Wildflowers

Create a Wildflower Patch

This is the next step up from the 'Let it Grow' area. You will be preparing the soil and adding a mix of seeds, ensuring even more colour and variety. There is no site too small for a wildflower patch, even a large container is fine if space is tight. When choosing your seed ensure to only buy native Irish wildflower seed. Also, please bear in mind that planting wildflower seed isn't always necessary and simply letting your existing grass grow is just as effective.
