Flowering Lawns ..... an end to noisy mowers
|
Instead of cutting the lawn, you could be sitting in the hammock, watching the birds gather insects to feed there young....listening to the bees,
just been very lazy at the End of Lawns.
Mowing your lawn is getting more expensive every year.
Who has the time to cut a lawn every 10 days, isn't time so valuable?
Petrol prices are rising. Many lawn chemicals, feeds and moss killers are toxic.
Waste grass cuttings pile up, Mulch mowers redistribute unwanted weeds.
Lawn mowers are seen as eco unfriendly.
The solution to cutting the grass............The End of Lawns is to start with your first meadow at the end of your lawn.
Wildflower Meadow Mixtures or wildflower lawns are easy to sow, they need only one cut a year, or four cuts per year to keep them very short like a lawn..
Wildflower lawns have become popular because they flower, are carbon eaters and well , us wildflower growers are a lazy lot....
We sell attractive flowering lawns with up to 40 species of wildflowers.
They are very low maintenance.
Under trees they are no maintenance.

"What ever you choose
always remember, Native wild plants while the ancestors of many garden
plants are not bred to be showy like beds of Red Roses or Tulips, nor will
they match the garish splash from hybrid shrub species or bedding plants
selected for window boxes, instead they show the gardener has taste, a deeper understanding of nature and a will to save the planet"
Where wildflowers are at there best is
when they look like they should be growing in the place they occupy, when
they look like 'no one is looking after them and when all else fails......... stick the deck chair amongst them and while away the hours

 Description:
Wildflower gardening is best described as placing native species 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.
When combining the typical garden informality in design and layout, with wild flowers,
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.
While your aren't cutting the lawn, maybe you would look around this large web site and learn how to grow wildflowers
