The package came quickly. Your website did a good job of explaining the harvesting of your seeds and how your mixes differ from your competitors. That’s why I bought from you. The wide range of different soil types covered is impressive and well described. Even though I don’t live on salisbury plain that soil characteristics you described are a good match for my garden. I’ve added extra yellow rattle seed I’ve harvested to the mix. Hopefully I will see the beginnings of a wildflower meadow next year.

Fantastic choice, great service

I love the choice of seeds from British Wildflowers, great to have seeds from established meadows, rather than just a set mix of particular species. I find it much more exciting to plant seed from a local meadow and see what comes. Seed arrived quickly and service was excellent. Looking forwards to planting my meadow
