Park Meadow Grass Mix

Grass and agricultural herb seed mix direct-harvested from the wild grasses growing in an ancient, certified-organic hay meadow in the Thames Valley. It contains 92% wild grasses and 8% wildflower seeds, including important species for butterfly and moth larva. The soil of the meadow is a sandy clay loam with some chalk (pH 7.5) at the foot of the Chilterns. The seed mix is suitable for sowing on all except strongly acid soil types. You can find the grasses illustrated in our guide to grasses.

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.
