Wildflower Seed Mixtures, Natural Ecologies, Conservation and Heritage 

Since 1990 this micro business has supplied 

and assisted thousands of customers

to establish thousands of hectares of meadow in Ireland. 
That makes DBN by far the most successful 
Non Government or semi-state nature conservation business in Ireland .

Native Irish provenance flowers can survive your local climatic 
conditions and protect local wildlife.

Unlike non-native plants. when you buy native sourced Irish species 
they flower at the same time as the wildlife that visits the plants,

Imported wildflowers can bring plant disease and pests to Ireland.

Our products cannot be compared to USA imported flora 
as they are totally different, if a mix contain larkspur, calendula, blue lupine, 
Californian poppy or many other such as flax, its not a native mix, 
even if it says wildflower, 

they are cultivated forms of wildflowers and not natives.

Your purchases also supports jobs in Ireland. 
Our products are price competitive with EU. and UK  imports.
