We strongly recommend reading up meadows before buying seed - see our resources section, brief guide to preparation and aftercare, and illustrative projects. We also run courses on meadow creation and management and offerdesign and ecological survey services. Although our seed has high germination rates, you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime. Don't be put off though - once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.
