 Description:
Wildflower gardening is best described as placing native species in
partial ecosystems and in collections of plants that perform to the
requirements of site and grower. The gardener should use both seeds and
plants as the range available will be greatest.
Combining the typical garden
formality in design and layout, with wild flowers can be achieved,
its only your imagination that sets the limits.
The gardener has a huge new
range of species to choose when growing wildflowers, from a mixture
suitable 'under a dry shaded hedge' to 'in full sun' or in 'a difficult
wet patch', Design By Nature Irish wildflowers offer a solution.
From corn Marigold to Yellow
Rattle, Foxglove to Wild Thyme, species can suit a range of different
spaces. Grow wildflowers in pots, trays, in beds and borders, as
well as mini meadows without grass. Wildflowers grown in the garden
will attract beneficial insects.
And
.....the seed heads of wildflowers feed over
wintering birds.
The
cuttings and straw of wildflowers can be used to make compost..
