IF you have a small, or large, area of grass you can do your bit and make your own wildflower plot. Here’s how, with thanks to the RSPB for its advice.
Wildflower meadows grow better on unproductive soil, where vigorous grasses don’t out-compete the flowers. Choose a suitable area. You might want to turn part of your lawn, or an old flower border into your new wildflower meadow.
Preparing the ground and removing the weeds may take several weeks and you can do this at any time of year. Autumn will be the best month for sowing your seeds. The plot needs to be somewhere open and sunny but can be flat or sloping.
